Uploaded today. Hopefully Limetech will not change the Kernel version before the final release of V6

It shouldn't cause any problems, but I have released an updated version with this warning fixed.

Beta15 plugin is available now.

Updated to support Beta-14

See here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38279 for an unRAID 6 version.

http://unraid.zeron.ca/plugins/open-vm-tools/openVMTools.plg Finally work with unRAID 6. 6.0/6.1 Requires the Powerdown package. 6.2+ does not. 6.3.5 is the last version supported by this plugin. I no longer use unRAID under ESXi

upgrade to 5.0.6 and use the latest package. i don't have one for beta-12a anymore.

That is correct. There is currently no release from VMWare that can compile for Kernel 3.17 and I do not have the time to patch all the issues myself.

It works fine in 5.0.6 unless you have set a password for the webui

The current version works in 5.0.5 - the only issue I am aware of is that it may not shut own correctly if you have a password set on unRAID. A future update will probably support the powerdown plugin. I do not know if / when I will do a release for version 6, but you can compile it your self.

5.0.5 does not use kernel 3.6.9p Your upgrade did not work correctly.

I will try to get a build for beta 6 working soon. Each time the kernel changes it is a lot of work becuase of the open-vm-tools is poorly maintained. Often it will not compile with the new kernel and VMWare will not have fixed it. You have to either find existing 3rd party patches to fix it, or make them your self.

Testing if it stops the array at shutdown would be great. I currently do not have a parity drive in my 6Beta test server. There is a slightly updated version here: http://unraid.zeron.ca/plugins/open-vm-tools/open_vm_tools-2013.09.16.1328054_unRaid6.0beta4-x86_64-12Zeron.tgz http://unraid.zeron.ca/plugins/open-vm-tools/open_vm_tools-2013.09.16.1328054_unRaid6.0beta4-x86_64-12Zeron.plg

I have a test build for unRaid6-b4 available at: http://unraid.zeron.ca/plugins/open-vm-tools/open_vm_tools-2013.09.16.1328054_unRaid6.0beta4-i686-11Zeron.tgz I anyone able to give is some testing?

unRaid tries to install plugins before it does DHCP. You will need to either use a static IP, or install the package manually after boot.

It should be under Settings -> Other Settings If it is not there; check you log file for errors loading it.

Unless a 5.0.x is released with a kernel change; I will not be releasing a new build for unRaid 5. The current build works just fine. I will probably release something for unRaid 6 at some point, but the removal of 32bit support will make it much more difficult.

Yes - remove the ethernet device from your VM configuration and add a new e1000 one. No. No. I do not provide the VMXNET3 driver, it's included in the unRaid kenel. You will probably get better support in a VMware forum as there is likely nothing unRaid specific at play here.

Yup - still around somewhere. Working on a compile for 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 Hopefully will have something to post today. New build posted.

You shouldn't, but I haven't upgraded to 5.5 yet. Maybe this weekend...

Yes - the current icon is pretty crap. Feel free to suggest a new one. 48x48 pixels. version with better icon uploaded.

New version for RC16c with the new WebGui. Open VM Tools will now appear under Other Settings

I have posted a version for RC16c The install script now checks kernel version not the unRaid version when determining if it will load.
