I have VMware vSphere 5.5 Essentials PLUS and my question is about Ubuntu (64Bit) and VM Tools upgrade. My vSphere is 5.5 and and all my servers are VM version 10 (Ubuntu 64Bit 12.04 or 14.04 LTS). I have checked the VMTools to auto-upgrade but from your experience is it still necessary to manually upgrade the tools every time that I upgrade the ubuntu kernels?
