- open-vm-toolsは 、VMware Toolsのオープンソースでの実装で、VMware 環境における機能性、管理性、仮想マシンの運用性を向上する仮想化ユーティリティの集合体です。
- open-vm-toolsの最大の目的は、OS ベンダまたはコミュニティ、あるいは仮想アプライアンスベンダなどが、自身の製品にVMware Toolsをバンドルできるようにするということです。
- open-vm-toolsは、完全にサポートされるVMware Toolsのオープンソース実装であるため、open-vm-toolsがOSに同梱されている場合は別途VMware Toolsをインストールする必要がありません。
