Zeron Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited January 18, 2018 by Zeron 1 Quote Link to comment
savestheday Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Awesome thank you Zeron! Guess beta 12's kernel was a no go? I think a lot of folks are going to stay on beta 12 after the b13 issues. Quote Link to comment
htpcnewbie Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 +1 on b12 until the b13 issues are sorted out. Can you please elaborate on what does vm-tools help with? I would love to have the ability of some programs (like Plex) bypassing the VPN. (not related to vm tools at all) EDIT: open vm tools: http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/about.php http://unraid.zeron.ca/plugins/open-vm-tools/openVMTools.plg Finally work with unRAID 6. Requires the Powerdown package. Currently compiled for the beta13 Kernel. Will update to B14 when it is out assuming they do not switch to kernel 3.19 as it will not yet compile with that kernel version. Quote Link to comment
Zeron Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Updated to support Beta-14 Quote Link to comment
StevenD Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks a lot, Zeron! Works great on -beta14 and ESXi 5.5. Quote Link to comment
savestheday Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I also bit the bullet and went to b14. Working great here Zeron!! Thank you! Do you have a donation page? Quote Link to comment

toby9999 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Is this only for unraid running as a vmware vm? Do I need this plugin for unraid 6.x running on real hardware and using say xen to run other vms? Quote Link to comment

danith Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Ah shoot. Upgraded unRAID to beta15 and forgot about this plugin. Getting 'Plugin was built for Kernel 3.18.5 but you have 3.19.4' Any update coming? 1 Quote Link to comment

uldise Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi Zeron, How about update to v6 RC? looks like no choice to new update to every new linux kernel version.. Quote Link to comment
Zeron Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi Zeron, How about update to v6 RC? looks like no choice to new update to every new linux kernel version.. Uploaded today. Hopefully Limetech will not change the Kernel version before the final release of V6 Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Uploaded today. Hopefully Limetech will not change the Kernel version before the final release of V6 Good luck with that. We are trying to follow a similar releaes process as the linux kernel. What they call "linux-next" is our "betas". The transition to "-rc" means simply: "no new features, bug fixes only." At some point -rc becomes "stable". I will also point out: we have no problem updating an entire package to address a bug (within reason), and we view the linux kernel as just another package.

RobJ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hopefully Limetech will not change the Kernel version before the final release of V6 Tom released -rc3 with kernel 4.0.4, because of some important BTRFS fixes. And -rc4 is in testing... Quote Link to comment
JimPhreak Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Is the power down package/plugin that is required for this VMTools plugin to work just the one that can be installed through unMenu? Quote Link to comment
StevenD Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Still works fine with -RC5. Quote Link to comment

I don't use unMenu so I don't know which powerdown package it provides. This is the one I use: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=31735.0 Quote Link to comment

JimPhreak Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Is there a link still available for this plugin that will work with version 6b15 (old kernel)? I had to roll back to the old kernel since the new one is giving me USB device reset errors. Quote Link to comment
