Can we install different version of "VM toos" in a same image?
"Different version" means linux version and windows version.
The context of this question is:
We need to create a new VM image on Windows platforms, during this procedure, we need to install the "VM tools";
After the image is created, we need to run some tests with this image on Linxu platforms, then, we need to install the "VM tools" on Linux platforms.
can these 2 different versions of "VM tools" be installed in the same image?
You need to remove/uninstall one version of vmware tools and then only you can do it for other platform.
Removing and adding/upgrading vmware tools is not tricky. You need to have corresponding iso in datastore and connect the virtual machine's first virtual CD-ROM drive to the ISO image file that contains the VMware Tools installer for your guest operating system.

When I watching the openstack launch a VM:
in the 5:12/7:06, you see there choose a image then launch a VM, it will install the OS.
I want to know the technologies of the auto deployment of OS.
How can OpenStack can auto install the OS into a VM?
EDIT-01
I mean how can OpenStack can deploy OS into a VM.
Such as the Windows can use Windows WDS to deploy the OS, the Linux can use kickstart to deploy the OS.
how about the OpenStack can deploy both the Windows and Linux?
There are lots of images type which you can use with Openstack Platform. Some of them are:
RAW, QCOW2, ISO, VHD, VMDK, DOCKER, PLOOP.
Out of which QCOW2 format is a live OS image which does not require OS installation, as you can use it directly without any installation. Same is for VHD, VMDK image format.
If you have used ISO as a format this will install an OS first & then you can use it just like normal OS installation. But it takes time to install an OS instead use Qcow2 images for faster deployments.
Upload an image to your Openstack Platform then while launching an instance select that uploaded image in Image section.
This service probably has a folder containing various OS images. These OS images were prepared ahead of time to work with OpenStack's VMM and network. The OS image is supplied to the VM, and when the VM launches, it initializes the OS.
We have need to install Eclipse on a network-isolated (on purpose) Windows machine. We can transfer files by USB, so we can physically put the Eclipse installer executable on the machine.
There is already a JDK (1.8) on the machine.
Question is, will just the installer be sufficient? Does it try to "reach out" for additional web resources?
Yes, it does require an active connection. If that's not possible, consider one of the packages at https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages .
I'm considering getting a collection of Dell PowerEdge servers. Dell documentation is pretty poor (no surprise there) and I have trouble figuring out if I can go with iDRAC Basic or if I need iDRAC Express or Enterprise.
My need is to install Ubuntu Server (minimal install with SSH is enough). After install all I need is SSH and possibly a remote "reset" button. I can install the OS before taking the system to server room so I don't really need remote OS deployment tools. However, the server does not have a graphics adapter. Is it possible to install Ubuntu with just iDRAC Basic or do I need additional hardware?
#iwork4dell Remote OS deployment implies Virtual Console (like VNC) and Virtual Media (using a remote ISO like a local DVD). These are Enterprise license features. OS deployment tools are are the driver pack that is stored in flash on the server and made available during OS installation to support new hardware on older OSes.
The iDRAC is an integrated VGA adapter so all the Power Edge servers do have a video adapter in them unless you disable it in BIOS. If your willing to attach a keyboard and monitor to the server basic is all you need. You can also upgrade the iDRAC with a license key after purchase.
See http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20440743
and http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/idrac-spec-sheet.pdf
IDRAC is possible, just you can open gui of idrac and then launch on the online server. You can add the iso file on virtual server.
I'm using Perl VMware::VIRuntime module to create Virtual Machines.
Virtual Machine can be created, but upon "power on", toolsStatus shows "toolsNotInstalled".
I'm stuck, not knowing what caused this problem
toolsNotInstalled refers to VMWare Tools not being installed. VMWare Tools is a separate software package that you can install after your VM has an OS in it. It is optional.
My Clearcase Version: 7.1.0 .
My os is windows 7, after I installed Clearcase. I couldn't create a dynamic view by using Create View.And I found that when i start clearcase service from control panel, there is only two service.
Is there any ways to correct this problem except to download a higher version.
ClearCase 7.1.2 is deployed on our Windows 7 at work.
However, when I see that there is only two services, that means MVFS (which is a device, not a driver) has failed to install properly.
The usual fix is to uninstall and reinstall ClearCase.
But there is no guarantee for 7.1.0.
The OP adds:
I have reinstall it three times, but the problem still exists
That confirms 7.1.0 is not supported (at least for the dynamic views part) on Windows 7.
As "System Requirements for ClearCase 7.1.x" confirms, Windows7 SP1 actually needs 7.1.2.3 at minimum.
And even then, you can have some issue: " PM54437: Windows 7 64bit MVFS clients flood albd_server of the View Server host with ALBD_FIND_SERVER RPCs" (which needs 7.1.2.6)
So getting the latest 7.1.x is recommended.
In your case though, since it isn't possible to get a version above 7.1.0, you can try and install a Virtual PC Windows Xp on your Windows 7.
Microsoft Virtual PC for Windows (formerly Connectix Virtual PC) is a client based software virtualization application that allows simultaneous operating systems to run on a single PC.
Each virtual machine emulates a complete hardware system—from processor to network card—in a self-contained, isolated software environment, enabling the simultaneous operation of otherwise incompatible systems.
ClearCase does support Virtual PC.
