Install VMWare Tools on Debian

We must log in with root user. It is better if we start with update all the software in system first then reboot one time.

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
shutdown -r now

Install compiler and Linux Header with command

apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) libglib2.0-0

Mount VMware Tools disc and extract file

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
tar xvfz /mnt/VMwareTools-*.tar.gz -C /tmp/

Start installing VMware Tools with command

perl /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl

Then press Enter to all the questions to use all default answer. Then reboot again and it will be done.

shutdown -r now

Call “HostStorageSystem.ComputeDiskPartitionInfo” for object “storageSystem” on ESXi failed

On an internal VMware server we have for development machines we increased storage using a spare disk, but shortly after rebooting we received the following error: Call "HostStorageSystem.ComputeDiskPartitionInfo" for object "storageSystem" on ESXi "192.168.xxx.xxx" failed. It appears from searching around that ESXi is not correctly wiping the disk when it says it does.

Step 1 is to enable SSH access through theESXi console so that you can remotely access the server using something like PuTTY.

Step 2: Now try and find the name of the local disk:

~ # esxcfg-scsidevs -l

Then you can see the partitions (the first line shows disk information rather than being the first partition):

# partedUtil get /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____WDC_WD2500JS2D75NCB3__________________________WD2DWMANK6029875

30394 255 63 488281250
1 63 488281247 165 128

("1" is partition number)

Now you should be able to delete the partition using: (important thing… you need to put partition # that you going to delete)

# partedUtil delete /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____WDC_WD2500JS2D75NCB3__________________________WD2DWMANK6029875 1

You can double check its been deleted by running the partedUtil command again:

~ # partedUtil get /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____WDC_WD2500JS2D75NCB3__________________________WD2DWMANK6029875
30394 255 63 488281250

Now when you run the VSphere Client the disk should be successfully created.
