Die Einrichtung sollte in einem Cool Solutions-Artikel beschrieben werden.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #26041 +++

Wir sollten die open-vm-tools für UCS 3.0 mit Paketieren:

These modules are now shipped in UCS. Maybe we should add a note to the manual that these modules are avaialble

I've tested the installation as follows:
univention-install open-vm-tools (unmaintained has to be enabled)

The following modules are built automatically:
vmblock
vmci
vmhgfs
vmsync
vmxnet
vsock

The following modules were loaded automatically:
vmsync                 12721  0 
vmhgfs                 52452  0 
vmwgfx                 99161  0 
ttm                    57013  1 vmwgfx
drm                   183339  2 vmwgfx,ttm
vmw_balloon            12558  0 
vmci                   73350  1 vmhgfs
vmw_pvscsi             17376  4 

I'm not sure why the very important vmxnet modules isn't loaded.  The tests were performed with VMware ESXi Version 5.1.0.

vmxnet is part of the standard kernel, I suppose the in-kernel module version has precedence:

jmm@vurm:~$ dpkg -L linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 | grep vmxnet
/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/vmxnet3
/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3.ko
