Package: open-vm-tools
Version: 2:10.1.5-5055683-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Debian 9 vm working fine on HW version 8 for months using VMXNET3 network
interface
In VMWare virtualcenter Server, VM on ESXi running VMWare 6.5, I upgraded VM
hardware from verson 8
to version 13.
Network interface worked ok for a a while, then sporadically disconnected from
the network for 5-20 minutes,
eventually hard-locking the vm
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I powered down the VM, deleted the VMXNET3 network interface, and added back a
E1000 network interface.
The system has been up now without problems for 15 hours
Not sure if this is the place for this package- not sure where the VMXNET3
driver lives - maybe that is
a remnant left over from an old VMware tools install that I did then disbled in
favor of open-vm-tools ?
Unclear where all the parts live. Apologies if this is user error.
Thank you for supporting Debian!
