bengalih Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm virtualizing a copy of OSX 10.6 through 10.9 on my ESXi 5.5 server using Donk's unlocker. I've installed the virtual tools that comes with that (Fusion tools i believe). Problem is I can't disable the Shared Folders option on the client. Since ESXi doesn't support shared folders, they aren't usable anyway, but it still creates a /volumes/VMware Shared Folders and you can see a shared folder quickly flash on the desktop at login. I've set the following .vmx option, that others have apparently had success with: isolation.tools.hgfs.disable= "TRUE" But, this doesn't work on any of the versions. Does anyone know how I can completely disable them on the OSX client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwiksilver Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 could you from command prompt run: sudo rm -rf /Volumes/VMware\ Shared\ Folders Then run sudo mkdir /Volumes/VMware\ Shared\ Folders and sudo chmod -r 000 /Vol/Volumes/VMware\ Shared\ Folders This would prevent vmware tools from accessing that folder I believe.
