In the screenshot below, we can see that VMware Tools is not detected in the guest OS and we have a option to install VMware Tools, so we go ahead and click on that. Click Yes to continue the operation in the User Account Control window. In any case, I thought I take you through a few screenshots of installing VMware Tools for a Mac OS X 10.7 guests running on my Apple Mac Mini. When the VM Tools image is automatically mounted on the system, open My Computer and double-click the drive to start the setup.

It is still amazing to me to see the number of guest OSes the vSphere platform supports and perhaps virtualizing Mac OS X is still relatively new for folks and hence the initial assumption about VMware Tools not being available.
#VMWARE PLAYER 7 VMWARE TOOLS OS X GUEST FOR MAC OS X#
I guess it may not be that well known or just an assumption, but VMware Tools does in fact exists for Mac OS X guests and it is also documented in the VMware Tools installation guide. From the Player menu bar, select Player > Manage > Install VMware Tools to start the VMware Tools installation. A comment that came up yesterday on Twitter was that VMware Tools did not exists for Mac OS X guests and this would make it difficult to manage Mac OS X guests on vSphere. If you need a Linux VM thats very much possible on Apple Silicon, and it works well using the VMware Fusion Tech Preview. Log in in the guest OS as the administrator. To do so, you would need to be run ESXi on Apple hardware either the now deprecated Apple XServe 3.1 or an Apple Mac Pro.

With the release of vSphere 5, virtualizing Apple Mac OS X as a guest OS was possible and fully supported from VMware.
