VMtool services not running
For one of my server, VMtool icon in tray is "RED" colored and i cant see teh vmtool services on the server. Please let me know how to enable back the VMtool without down time
go to the vm do a right click and there is a link to reinstall vm tools its probably an older version it can happen
ASKER
Thanks for the update, means no luck without down time
The vmtool issue occured while taking the clone
"Cannot clone USBMAIPD01v: Cannot create a quiesced snapshot because the (user-supplied) custom prefreeze script in the virtual machine exited with a nonzero return code.error "
If i changed the vmtool box Script ( Uncheck script option), will it work and can avoid Down time

This requires a restart, so you cannot avoid any downtime.
