I recently installed ESXi on a Mac and created a MacOS Sierra VM and have a couple problems. First of all, although ESXi detected that I'm running on a Mac, it didn't have access to the VM Tools. I used the darwin.iso from my VMWare Fusion install. Hopefully that is the right one to use.
Now that I have everything running, I'm finding that the Mac VM always forces me into a HiDPI mode. If I try to choose a scaled resolution that isn't in HiDPI, it briefly changes to the new resolution correctly and then it immediately switches to the HiDPI version. This leaves me with a nice looking wallpaper, but menus and desktop icons that are HUGE. I tried using the set resolution script from the VM Tools directory, but it has the same problem. I can force a particular resolution, but it always enables HiDPI.
Could it be I'm running the wrong VM Tools? Is there a different set for ESXi that I should be running? I'm connecting to the server from VMWare Fusion on a Mac that uses a retina display. Could it be detecting that and forcing the HiDPI mode?
Thank you in advance!
