ESX 3.5 Update 2 provides quiescing support using VSS. However, the VSS components are not installed when upgrading VMware Tools on a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine.
You can install VSS components manually by performing an interactive tools upgrade with VMware Infrastructure (VI) Client.
To manually install VSS:
- In the VMware Tools installer, select Modify > Drivers > VSS.
- Complete the installation process.
- Restart the virtual machine to make sure VSS components are installed and running.
Note: For more information about VSS, seehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc785914(WS.10).aspx.
