Marcelo,
Petr,
Is the "bug" in vSphere 4.x flaky enough for the tools status
to occasionally be reported as "unmanaged" for unsupported guests?
- yesterday my OSR6 VM was "Unmanaged" for several reboots
and restarts of the vmtoolsd
- today, following a power-hit to our Intel Modular Servers,
an OSR507 VM was rebooted and is reporting a VMtools status of
"Unmanaged" - through several shutdown and power-up cycles.
Previously the status was being reported as "Not Installed".
Is there anything that I can do to reduce the number of tools
running, not running, version not available, not installed
messages that are being dropped into /var/log/vmware/hostd.log?
