1 On the host, select VM > Install VMware Tools.

Usually, the Solaris volume manager vold mounts the CD-ROM under /cdrom/vmwaretools. If the CD-ROM is not mounted, restart the volume manager using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
/etc/init.d/volmgt start
4 Change to a working directory (for example, /tmp):
cd /tmp
5 Extract VMware Tools:
gunzip -c /cdrom/vmwaretools/vmware-solaris-tools.tar.gz
tar xf -
6 Run the VMware Tools installer:
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
Respond to the configuration prompts. Press Enter to accept the default value.
