Installing guest tools

  • Create a compute volume from the vz-guest-tools-win or vz-guest-tools-lin image, depending on the VM operating system:

If you do not have these images in your project, contact your system administrator.

  • On the Images screen, click the vz-guest-tools-win or vz-guest-tools-lin image.

  • On the image right pane, click Create volume.

  • In the Create volume from image window, specify a name for the volume, and then click Create.

  • Attach the volume with the guest tools to the virtual machine:

  • On the Virtual machines screen, click the required VM.

  • On the VM right pane, click the pencil icon in the Volumes field.

  • In the Volumes window, click Attach.

  • In the Attach volume window, select the created volume with the guest tools, and then click Attach. The attached volume will be marked as ISO.

  • In the Volumes window, click Done, to save your changes.

  • Log in to the virtual machine.

  • Inside the VM, do the following:

  • Inside a Windows VM, go to the mounted optical drive in Explorer and install the guest tools by running setup.exe. After the installation is complete, restart the VM.

  • Inside a Linux VM, create a mount point for the optical drive with the guest tools image and run the installer:

# mount `<path_to_guest_tools_iso>` /mnt/cdrom
# bash /mnt/cdrom/install
