Error on [hostname]:The required VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is inaccessible.

 

 

See the error stack for details on the cause of this problem.

Error Stack

Call "VirtualMachine.MountToolsInstaller" for object "[hostname]" on ESXi "172.20.2.170" failed.

vix error code = 21001

Unable to install VMware Tools. An error occurred while trying to access image file "/usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/linux.iso" needed to install VMware Tools: 2 (No such file or directory). If your product shipped with the VMware Tools package, reinstall VMware ESX, then try again to install the VMware Tools package in the virtual machine.

 

I followed this article https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1037405 and can clearly see the symlink in the ESXi cli [isoimages -> /productLocker/vmtools] but install still isnt working. This is on my windows VMs as well. ESXi 6.0 U2 installed on  flash drive.

 

Does anyone know how to resolve this error so I can install VMWare tools?
