VMware tools and hardware version for Cisco vWLC

deppe2291 — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 09:10:04 GMT

I am currently running a Cisco vWLC (v8.0.100.0) on VMware vSphere 5.5U2 supporting about 20 APs. I just recently upgraded to vSphere 5.5U2 and I was working my way through updating the VMware tools and VM Versions on all my VMs when I glanced at this info for the vWLC. The vWLC shows a VM version of 1 with the VMware tools not running and not installed. I am curious if it is necessary or even possible to update the VMware tools and VM version for the vWLC. The vWLC is working perfectly fine and I have no issue with leaving well enough alone, but this just kind of peeked my curiosity as I really couldn't find any concrete answers in any online documentation. Does anyone have any insight on this matter?

Thanks for the link, but this

Thanks for the link, but this information seems focused on UC applications and/or appliances. I don't believe the vWLC falls into the intended applications of this article.

If it's working, then leave

If it's working, then leave it alone. Some of the Cisco virtual, well maybe most, don't support the VMWARE tools. Updating the version to the latest will make you have to use vCenter as the sphere client will not allow you to edit the VM anymore.
