Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Timo Gurr (tgurr) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Wrong "Guest OS" information in vSphere client displayed Initial Comment: The guest is configured as "Other 2.6x Linux (64-bit)", attached screenshot (vmware-tools_stopped.png). # uname -a Linux wwwproxy 2.6.38.5 #2 SMP Wed May 4 12:33:49 CEST 2011 x86_64 Six-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2425 HE AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux After starting open-vm-tools-2011.04.25-402641 the information in vCenter changes to "Other (32-bit)", attached screenshot (vmware-tools_started.png) which is obviously wrong. VMware vSphere vCenter Client/Server is Version 4.1.0 Build 345043. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Marcelo Vanzin (mvanzin) Date: 2011-07-20 16:36 Message: Tools will generally use the output of "lsb_release -sd" to figure out the OS information. Fedora 9 should have that; what's the output of that command in your VM? If lsb_release is not available, then that's probably the cause. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Greg Emerick (gemerick) Date: 2011-07-18 19:44 Message: I'm seeing this on Fedora 9 as well with open-vm-tools-2011.06.27-437995. Anything I can provide to assist? vSphere 4.1.0 Build 260247 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=3297924&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10 Tips for Better Web Security Learn 10 ways to better secure your business today.
