Hi, I'm using vagrant to create rapidly Linux VMs on Parallels. Each time a new Linux kernel is downloaded (Linux updates), I have to reinstall Parallels Tools manually. I would like to automate this process (possibly via some shell script). Is there a CLI command available to mount the Parallels Tools image on a Linux guest O.S. ? This command would mimic the Actions => Update Parallels Tools available from the UI. Or may be there is another way to fetch the correct / latest image from the Internet ? BR, Damien.
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. To mount a Parallels Tools disk, run the command below: prlctl set <vm_name> --device-set cdrom0 --image <iso_path> --connect For <iso_path> it should be either /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-lin.iso or /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-lin-arm.iso Depends on the architecture you use (x86 or ARM). Then run the installation command from the article: https://kb.parallels.com/113394 Should you have any additional questions, let us know.
