CHAPTER 3 Using VMware Tools
87
Shrinking Virtual Disks with VMware Tools
The Shrink tab gives you access to the controls you need if you wish to reclaim unused
space in a virtual disk.
For more information about shrinking virtual disks, see Defragmenting and Shrinking
Virtual Disks on page 168.
Setting Options with VMware Tools
The Other tab gives you the option to synchronize the time in the guest operating
system with the time in the host operating system.
Note: You can synchronize the time in the guest operating system with the time in
the host operating system only when the time in the guest is earlier than the time in
the host.
To completely disable time synchronization, see Disabling Time Synchronization on
page 91.
Configuring VMware Tools for NetWare Guests in the System Console
You can configure certain virtual machine options such as time synchronization, CPU
idling and device configuration with VMware Tools in a NetWare virtual machine
using the system console. The VMware Tools command line program is called
vmwtool.
