VMWare Tools
Some utilities of the VMWare tool are supported on FortiWLC to improve managing of the virtual machines.
Graceful power shutdown
Right-click the virtual machine and click select Power > Shut Down Guest to shut down the guest operating system gracefully.
Clock/time synchronization between the guests and the hosts
Right-click the virtual machine and click Edit Settings. Click the Options tab and select VMware Tools. Enable Synchronize guest time with host to configure the guest operating system to synchronize time with the host.
Quiescing guest file systems to allow hosts to capture file-system-consistent guest snapshots
Right-click the virtual machine and click Snapshot > Take Snapshot. Update the required fields and enable Quiesce guest file system (Needs VMware Tools installed) to pause running processes on the guest operating system so that file system contents are in a known consistent state when you take the snapshot.
Note: Quiescing a file system can be done only on virtual machines that are powered on.
Network information and resource utilization of the guest is published to the host.
Select a virtual machine and click on the Resource Allocation tab to view the resource utilization details.
In the Summary tab, click View All against the IP addresses to view the virtual machine’s IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6).
