Roancea Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 So, was experimenting with these under b12a using the tgz in the extra folder. Seems to work well to start, vmxnet3 driver appears to work properly and the openvmtools load on startup. However, its stated that there's a custom script to do a clean shutdown - supposedly so I could have the vmhost initiate the call, correct? When I tested this by executing a guest shutdown from the vmsphere client, the unraid web client shuts down, I believe the array was stopped, but the guest vm will not actually shut down. Am I missing something here that should be evident? Any help would be great, as this is one piece to getting my vmhost on automated ups shutdown. Thanks! If I recally correctly, b12a wouls segfault on shutdown on some systems. Perhaps that is what is happening to yours. Thanks for the very fast reply, and for all your work on this. Is there any solution to this on b12a other than simply upgrading beta (assuming that is a fix)? I'm holding off on moving up to b14 b/c I'm using an LSI SAS controller and read that there was issues with that, so until a new release comes out I believe I'm stuck at 12a. Quote Link to comment

marcusone Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks! this installed great from the extra folder, but doesn't get the ethernet working (I have it set to "flexible" in vSphere for ESXi 5U1. Which on a windows machine loads the vmxnet3. Do I need to force it down to vmxnet2? And how do I do that? Thanks, [edit] well, reseting the network /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart, worked. Do i need to add that to my Go script? Quote Link to comment

BetaQuasi Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 If you only have those two options, then you chose the wrong type of Linux when you created the VM. I'm not at home at the moment, but maybe check Johnm's atlas thread to see the type of Linux to choose. Quote Link to comment

madburg Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Zeron, just wanted to drop a big thank you, you have done an excellent job on the open vmtools package, your updates with incorporation are working perfect. Reading the code you have everything covered at this point. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment

heredago Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Anyone using these tools with ESXi 5.1? haven't upgraded to 5.1 yet, I was thinking of waiting something like a month to make sure there are no surprises like the 5.0 U1 no vm auto-start lol Quote Link to comment
mjorud Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I upgraded from v5.0 u1 to v5.1 today. No problems so far. I upgraded primarily because of the auto vm start-up bug, although I have not yet tested if it works now. Quote Link to comment

In vSphere Client I can see VMware Tools are running (3rd-party/Independent) so I guess it's OK. Quote Link to comment
joelones Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I have 5.1 installed and open_vm_tools-2012.05.21.724730_unRaid5.0rc8-i686-3Zeron.tgz. Not sure if this is related but when I attempted to add the network adapter I have only two options: "Flexilble" or "E1000", which is different than what I see for my windows vms (vmtools current) where I see "VMXNET3". Could it be that Zeron's vmtools is not fully compatible with ESXi 5.1 ? In vSphere Client I can see VMware Tools are running (3rd-party/Independent). Maybe that's why I do not see the VMXNET3 option. Quote Link to comment
