If You Are Upgrading from an Earlier Version of GSX Server
The installation steps for your host require that you run an uninstaller to remove a
previous version of GSX Server from your machine.
On a Windows host, the uninstaller asks whether you want to keep licenses in your
registry.
Do not remove
the licenses.
On a Linux host, the license remains in place. You do not need to take any special
action. Just leave it where it is.
Take Note of Custom Network Configurations
If you customized any virtual network settings or created a custom network, you must
take note of these settings before you uninstall the previous version of GSX Server.
Custom network settings cannot be preserved across product upgrades and must be
configured again after you install the new version.
Reinstall VMware Tools
Installing VMware Tools ensures the best performance for your guest operating
system. See
in the
VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide
.
For more information about upgrading, see
Upgrading VMware GSX Server on

The VMware Tools package has been improved and updated. Be sure to reinstall
VMware Tools in your guest operating system after you install VMware GSX Server 3.

in the
VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide
