How to install Open-VM-Tools on Pamac based Linux 

 

To install open-vm-tools on Big Linux (an Arch-based system) using Pamac, open the terminal and run
sudo pamac install open-vm-tools for command-line only, or sudo pamac install open-vm-tools-desktop for GUI support. After installation, enable the services with sudo systemctl enable --now vmtoolsd. 
Steps to Install Open VM Tools:

    For Desktop (GUI) Users: Run the following command in your terminal:
    bash

sudo pamac install open-vm-tools-desktop

For Server/CLI Only Users: Run the following command:
bash

sudo pamac install open-vm-tools

Enable Services: Ensure the tools run on boot by enabling the daemon:
bash

sudo systemctl enable --now vmtoolsd

 

It is recommended to restart the VM afterward to ensure full integration, such as clipboard sharing and resolution resizing.

Clearing DNS cache on vCenter Server Appliance

  Clearing DNS cache on vCenter Server Appliance 6.5/6.7 - Just Virtualise It (kanecharles.com) I came across a situation recently where I was building some nested ESXi hosts and had configured the incorrect IP address for their DNS record, only to realize this after attempting to add the host into Center:  By attempting to add the host, vCenter will query your DNS servers for the IP address associated with the FQDN you have supplied (assuming you did this method, not via IP address). If you have set the wrong IP on your DNS server for the above FQDN record, you have 2 options: Wait a short while for vCenter to clear the cache entry for this FQDN, thus allowing you to add the host with the correct IP from the DNS record Clear the DNS cache on your vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) vCSA 6.5 upwards runs on Photon OS with dnsmasq acting as a local caching nameserver (thank you to Brandon for the comment to clarify). Enough rambling, so how do we do it? If you’re anything like...
