Hello
I have a question about installing RouterOS in vmwware ESXi. Is that senario supported?
I should use regular x86 image or CHR ?
The standard settings of virtual network card is optimal for RouterOS?
Should I install vmware tools after?
+1 for thatIf you do this (great!) please consider also to put VMware tools in the image.
This is useful when making snapshot backups.
Quick bump - Can you *please* *please* *please* put out the ova's instead of the other vmware files. So much easier in big environments, and we'd start deploying it more.maybe it will be easier, not yet decided if these will be made on regular basis
The CHR OVA:

Yes! But consider that the CHR is now a PRODUCT from the RouterOS line, but it lacks a functionality required for a production environment. Until it doesn't include OpenVMTools it will be outside of any production environment. So the questions is: Why as the OpenVMTools is an Open Source package the Mikrotik guys doesn't include it in the CHR?Give it time, it will happen eventually. [...] look now at CHR, what a nice piece of software it is. One day they'll realize that tools are nice too.
