Hi David,  You can update VMWare Tools on the appliance the same way you would any OpenSUSE Linux virtual machine.  This can be done manually from the console if vCenter can't push it out on its own. Hope this helps!
I'm still new to this community and hopefully I'll be catching up here soon, however I'm not sure of the process for updating the vmtools on the vOps apliance. I know once I spunt it up and configured the IP's etc, the vCenter saw that the tools were out of date. Tonight is our patch management night and we'd like to get vOps up to speed as far as the tools go. What is the process to getting this done? Do I just push it out from vCenter or are there steps to perform on the vOps server as well.  Thanks in advance for your help!
