Hi,

This may be a recurrent question, but I couldn't find all the answers I seek on the list archive. I'd be glad if you people help me.

My company provides a custom Linux appliance running kernel 2.6.32. We want to support virtual machine installations on the various distributions of VMWare (eg Player, Server, Workstation, ESXi). For better performance, vmtools is a must and to achieve the higher number of distributions possible, we opted for building open-vm-tools on our custom kernel and distributing it along with our system.

Everything went fine: several modules loaded on kernel and daemon vmtoolsd up and running. The message indicating the absence of the tools has disappeared from VM Server and Workstation e the VM tools status changed to "unmanaged" on ESXi. But the reboot/shutdown features on vSphere are not working.

Modules loaded: vmhgfs, vmmemctl, vmsync, vmxnet3, vmci and vsock.
Messages related to vmware on dmesg:

VMware memory control driver initialized
vmmemctl: started kernel thread pid=3257
VMware vmxnet3 virtual NIC driver - version 1.0.2.0-NAPI
VMCI: Major device number is: 253
Probing for vmci/PCI.
vmci 0000:00:07.7: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
Found vmci/PCI at 0x1080, irq 16.
VMCIUtil: Host capability check: PASSED
Registered vmci device.

Thanks in advance.
