VMware tools support for CAS VA

Products

• Content Analysis Software - CA

Issue/Introduction

Does the virtual appliance (VA) versions of Content Analysis System (CAS) support the installation of VMware tools

Resolution

VMware tools is a set of utilities provided by VMware to help manage virtual instances of operating systems on which they are installed. It is not possible to install additional applications on CAS at runtime as a result it is not possible to install VMware tools onto CAS VA.

There are no plans to include VMWare Tools in CAS at this time, however this could change.
