[sles-beta] VMware integration - was: SLES12 Beta Question concerning systemd /etc/init.d/boot.local

[Bo Dang]

Hi Kai and Urs,

Thanks for this info and keep contacting us! As john metnioned in another thread "The intent of the message was to communicate that end users do not need to worry about installing/updating VMware tools centrally from vCenter. Instead users are expected to use OS package manager to maintain vmware tools or open-vm-tools. We published the following KB article to clarify that open-vm-tools are "supported" and there is a FAQ at the bottom about this message at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073803 " and we are planning to change message in the future to remove "3rd Party" and instead say something like "Guest Managed" to reduce user concerns.

If you have questions, feel free to ping us again!

Best Regards,
Bo

They way we're going is to work with VMware to get the drivers and tools
formally supported with SUSE the primary support contact for the SLES
side, which will mark them as supported in SLES.

If I understood you right, then the 3rd party message is in Vspehre and
not on the SLES console, right? For that I will have to check with VMware.
