[sles-beta] WG: SLES12 beta5 vmware tools, vmtoolsd

[John Savanyo]

Hi Urs, 

Please refer to the following KB article >> http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073803 

Which states: " VMware fully supports virtual machines that include open-vm-tools redistributed by operating system vendors, which is done in collaboration with the OS vendor and OS communities." 

Best

Hi 



I installed SLES12 beta5 on VMware ESXi 5.1 and enabled vmtoolsd 



v03er9:~ # systemctl status -l vmtoolsd 

vmtoolsd.service - Service for virtual machines hosted on VMware 

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service; enabled) 

Active: active (running) since Tue 2014-04-22 13:36:09 CEST; 4h 42min ago 

Docs: http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/about.php 


Main PID: 550 (vmtoolsd) 

CGroup: /system.slice/vmtoolsd.service 

└─550 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd

vmw_balloon 13415 0 

vmw_vmci 71155 0 

vmwgfx 147382 1 

ttm 92283 1 vmwgfx 

drm 322623 2 ttm,vmwgfx 

v03er9:~ # 



On my v-sphere console still the same picture: vmware tools do not get recognized by v-sphere. Open-vm tools get classified as third party == alien 

This does mean “not supported” on our ESX platform as far as I am instructed by our VMware provider
