Modules and drivers that support making automatic backups of virtual machines

Excluding this driver hinders the memory management capabilities of the virtual machine in a vSphere deployment. This driver is required for memory ballooning and is recommended if you use VMware vSphere.

This sound driver is required for 64-bit Windows XP, 32-bit Windows Server 2003, 64-bit Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Vista guest operating systems. This driver is required if you use third-party tools such as Microsoft Terminal Services. The virtual mouse driver improves mouse performance. The driver can be used in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000. It is available on the host as a floppy image at /vmimages/floppies/vmscsi.flp. The driver is included as part of the VMware Tools package or comes bundled with VMware ESX/ ESXi.

Virtual machines do not need this driver if they do not need to access any SCSI devices or if they are configured to use the LSI Logic virtual SCSI adapter. VMware supplies a special SCSI driver for virtual machines that are configured to use the BusLogic virtual SCSI adapter. In this case, the LSI Logic SAS driver provided by the operating system is used. Drivers for other storage adapters are either bundled with the operating system, or they are available from third-party vendors.ДЇor example, Windows Server 2008 defaults to LSI Logic SAS, which provides the best performance for that operating system. This driver for VMware Paravirtual SCSI adapters enhances the performance of some virtualized applications. A VMware Paravirtual SCSI driver is included for use with Paravirtual SCSI devices. When you create a virtual machine, if you specify that you want the virtual machine to use a BusLogic adapter, the guest operating system uses the SCSI driver that VMware Tools provides.

When you install VMware Tools, a VMXNET NIC driver replaces the default vlance driver. Search the VMware Knowledge Base for information on which guest operating systems support these drivers. The set of drivers that are used depends on how you configure device settings for the virtual machine. The VMXNET and VMXNET3 networking drivers improve network performance. This driver provides the same base functionality as the SVGA driver, and it adds Windows Aero support. On Windows guest operating systems whose operating system is Windows Vista or later, the VMware SVGA 3D (Microsoft - WDDM) driver is installed. When you install VMware Tools, a virtual SVGA driver replaces the default VGA driver, which allows for only 640 X 480 resolution and 16-color graphics. This virtual driver enables 32-bit displays, high display resolution, and faster graphics performance.

NSX Network Introspection Driver: The Network Introspection driver supports NSX for vSphere Activity Monitoring.

This strategy avoids resource bottlenecks and optimizes memory use.

NSX File Introspection Driver: The File Introspection driver uses the hypervisor to perform antivirus scans without a bulky agent.

When you install VMware Tools, by default, the Guest Introspection drivers are not installed. You can install the two drivers separately. The two Guest Introspection drivers are the File Introspection driver and the Network Introspection driver. You need to install the component manually. However, VMware Tools cannot install the AppDefense component automatically. AppDefense agent can be installed on the guest virtual machine using the VMware Tools installer. VMware Tools installation include the VMware AppDefense, a security management and monitoring solution. Note: VMCI driver cannot be disabled as the VMware Tools System service functionality is dependent on this driver.вЂ‹ If the user had disabled this VMCI driver in the setup settings during a previous installation, VMware Tools automatically re-installsВ VMCI driver during the upgrade. VMCI driver is installed by default as part of VMware Tools installation. Developers can write client-server applications to the VMCI Sock (vsock) interface to make use of the VMCI virtual device. The Virtual Machine Communication Interface driver supports fast and efficient communication between virtual machines and the hosts they run on.

The following device drivers can be included with VMware Tools.

For detailed information about the features or functionality of these drivers, including configuration requirements, best practices, and performance, see the documentation for your VMware product. The set of drivers that are installed when you install VMware Tools depends on the guest operating system and the VMware product. You can select the drivers to be installed while performing a custom VMware Tools installation or reinstallation. Device drivers improve sound, graphics, networking, and storage performance.
