    What is correct way to install vmware tools to Airwave 8.2.7?

     

    1) Using OVF.

    2) Using ISO.

     

    As I find that since Airwave 8.2.4 OVF vmware tools are pre installed? Is it  true?

    VMware tool package comes with Airwave ISO/OVA file from 8.2.x latest codes, we dont need to install it seperately.

    We added the open-vm-tools package in 8.2.6.  If you're doing a fresh install, any release 8.2.6 or newer would have it auto installed and is automatically started.  You can fresh install from either the OVA or ISO, but I typically recommend the ISO for installs.  The OVA is geared towards POCs that need a quick install sized at 4 core, 8 GB RAM, 80 GB disk.  If you want to save the hassle of having to resize, the ISO is the way to go.
