Re: VMWare tools - VM does not shut down
For the archives I'm answering my own question: https://man.openbsd.org/vmt.4: > vmt handles shutdown and reboot requests from the host by signalling > init(8) with SIGUSR2 and SIGINT respectively. We made our own init listen to SIGUSR2 and SIGINT and that solved our problem. > Le 25 septembre 2018 18:22:57 GMT+02:00, Torsten a écrit : >> Hi! >> >> I'm working on a project with a large number of highly customized >> OpenBSD6.3 based appliances. >> >> On each of these machines VMWare reports VMWare tools to be "installed >> and ready".

VMWare tools - VM does not shut down
Hi! I'm working on a project with a large number of highly customized OpenBSD6.3 based appliances. On each of these machines VMWare reports VMWare tools to be "installed and ready". However, when I try to actually do something like shutdown, reboot or sleep, there simply is no reaction. The machine remains up and running. When I run a standard OpenBSD 6.3 machine on the same hypervisor, everything works fine, so in general everything seems to be functional. But we must have missed something when building these individual appliances. I just cannot figure out what that could be. I read "man vmt" but I couldn't figure if vmt would require some service that's normally started by rc, which in our appliances is not being started. In fact, the appliances do not use the OpenBSD init system at all but replace them with some custom init. What are we missing? Thanks in advance! T.
