Once you have updated your host to version 5 you should update the guest version of VMware tools.
You will get a yellow exclamation mark within your guest and the vSphere client will display ‘Running (Out-of-date).’
Upgrading VMware tools
- Login into the vSphere Client
- Right click the guest you want to update
- Select Guest -> Install/Upgrade VMware Tools
- Choose Automatic Tools upgrade
- This will update the guest – Beware this will also automatically reboot the guest
