VMTools installed in Virtual HMC

Now that Virtual HMC is supported to install in VMware environments it would be very nice if the installer came with VMTools or if there were some way to install VMTools on the Virtual HMC VM. These tools help with issues when accessing the VM directly from the vSphere console including making mouse fidelity match your desktop and improving keyboard compatibility.

    Please make it a plan to support VMware Tools on the HMC itself.

    Hi,

    Currently, there are no plans to support VMTools on the HMC itself and we don't support tooling on other x86 hypervisors as well.

    Thanks.
