Enter your mobile phone number and company name for better service. Go

Turn Off or Change VM Alerts. Go to System → Warnings → Warning Options → Virtual Machines.

Skip Certain VMs. This way, real vmTools problems on live/production VMs don't get hidden by accident.
Clear the Alert. If the guest OS isn't supported officially, the warning might keep showing up — unless your HCI version lets you turn it off manually.
Is this answer helpful?

Try installing VMtools from HCI if you are unable to do so using SCP.

Find the virtual machine (VM) on Sangfor HCI/aSV and:

Select Compute → Virtual Machines.
Choose the virtual machine.
Depending on your HCI version, select Settings or More.
Go to Alarm Policy or Alarm/Monitoring.
Turn off or disregard the VMTools alarm that isn't active for that virtual machine.

Hi,
- Disable or Adjust VM Warnings. System → Warnings → Warning Options → Virtual Machines
- Exclude Specific VMs. This prevents legitimate vmTools issues from being hidden on production VMs.
- Acknowledge the warning. If the guest operating system is not supported, the warning may remain in effect unless your HCI version provides a way to suppress the warning.

If you cannot install vmtool via SCP, Try install vmtools from HCI maybe it can.

On Sangfor HCI/aSV, locate the VM and:

Go to Compute → Virtual Machines.
Select the VM.
Open More or Settings (depending on your HCI version).
Navigate to Alarm/Monitoring or Alarm Policy.
Disable or ignore the vmTools is not running alarm for that VM.
