Parece que não existem processos do VMWare Tools, mas existem pacotes VMWare Tools instalados.

Eu prefiro implantar o VMWare Tools em todos os servidores que distribuem pacotes. Alguém pode confirmar se o VMWare Tools está instalado corretamente ou não neste servidor?

Em um sistema saudável, você deve ver o daemon vmtoolsd :

[root@xt ~]# ps aux | grep vm
root       381  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    Jun23   0:00 [vmw_pvscsi_wq_2]
root      1319  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    Jun23   0:18 [vmmemctl]
root      2315  0.0  0.0  69540  1960 ?        Sl   Jun23  14:43 /usr/sbin/vmtoolsd

Veja também: Como detectar, no sistema operacional convidado, se as ferramentas vmware estão desatualizadas?

Uma das opções interessantes para instalações VMware agora é o uso dos Pacotes específicos do sistema operacional VMware (OSPs ) em vez de gerenciar as ferramentas guest por meio do console do vSphere.

Isso permite o gerenciamento de ferramentas independente de sua versão do vSphere e permite a distribuição por meio do gerenciador de pacotes nativo do seu sistema operacional.
