Why VM need reboot after VMware Tools update ?
If you would like upgrade vmware-tools on WS2012R2, which you migrate from ESXi 5.5 to 6.0 you must remember , that operating system needs reboot. Why ? Answer is very simple – vmware-tool is service,
which includes device drivers like VSS, VMXNET3, MemCtl etc and if you would like upgrade theese drivers, in some cases operating system needs be rebooted. Don´t forged about what happens to your
NIC driver (for example VMXNET3), when it´s beeing updated… yes correct, network connectivity will drop. The best option is, when VM is restarted immediately after upgrade vmware-tools, you can
prevent problems with VM…
