    update:

    There is a first success report at
    http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community...l#post19939891
    <http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f101/zfs-stammtisch-570052-110.html#post19939891>

    It seems that patch
    http://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findP...29&version=121
    <http://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal?product=ESXi+%28Embedded+and+Installable%29&version=121>
    with a newer vmware tools version is needed to install vmware tools on
    OmniOS

    If someone gets it working too, a confirmation and step by step howto
    - patch ESXi (free) locally
    - create a virtual floppy (needed with current Omni - needed with
    current stable ??) http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/VMwareNotes
    - How to mount installer cd in ESXi and install tools

    would be very helpful (Maybee at the Omni wiki?)

    I will check this asap too (a lot of other work the next days) to build
    an All-In-One system based on Omni instead of OI
