I have the basics for vmtools ported for OpenServer 6. The RPC loop
is running and the hostd.log file on the ESX host reports the current
heartbeat status as green.
But, the vSphere Client Summary tab for the running VM indicates:
"VMware Tools: Not Installed"
And it has consistently been displayed that way except for about 1/2 hour
of testing during which the status was displayed as "Unmanaged" while
the RPC loop was running, and "Not Running" when vmtoolsd was killed.
The "Not Installed" status has returned, but that got me digging a
little bit.
Managed Object Browser:
===========================================
The Managed Object Browser (MOB) of the GuestInfo for my running OSR6 VM
shows:
toolsRuningStatus string "guestToolsRunning"
toolsStatus VirtualMachineToolsStatus "toolsOK"
toolsVersion string "2147483647"
(32 bit MAXINT - 0x7fffffff)
- probably the TOOLS_VERSION_UNMANAGED
toolsVersionStatus string "guestToolsNotInstalled"
Now, from the top three items, I would have expected the
"VMware Tools:" status to at least indicate "Unmanaged".
Clearly the last item "toolsVersionStatus" is being set incorrectly (?)
and that is apparently what results in the
VMware Tools: Not Installed
being displayed in the vSphere Client Summary tab for a running VM.
I have confirmed that services/vmtoolsd/toolsRpstatusc.c is sending
the "tools.set.version 2147483647"
ESX 4.0 (build-398348): /var/log/vmware/hostd.log
===================================================
Looking in the ESX 4.0 host /var/log/vmware/hostd.log I see:
- the tools status is changed to "running"
- the tools version changing from 0 (default) to
TOOLS_VERSION_MANAGED
- and then a struggle between "Unexpected toolsVersionStatus
notAvailable - using offline status guestToolsNotInstalled"
and "changing status to running"
- repeating within msecs - not on to 30 sec vmtools polling
interval
- rapidly filling /var/log/vmware/hostd.log
- section of log attached (hope the attachment is usable)
/vmfs/volumes/*/<VM>/vmware.log file contains:
===============================================
