Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:10.1.0-4449150-4
Hi, This is Sankar from VMware. I work in a team that manages 'open-vm-tools'. Would like to request to add 'cloud-init' dependency for 'open-vm-tools' service. I have logged a bug in launchpad and you can check it out at https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1667831 for more details. We need to start 'open-vm-tools' service before 'cloud-init' service starts. Following is a patch to be added in 'unit' section for 'open-vm-tools' service file. DefaultDependencies=no Before=cloud-init-local.service Here is the total content of 'open-vm-tools.service' file """ [Unit] Description=Service for virtual machines hosted on VMware Documentation=http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/about.php ConditionVirtualization=vmware DefaultDependencies=no Before=cloud-init-local.service [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/vmtoolsd TimeoutStopSec=5 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target """ Please do let me know if any other information is required. Thanks Sankar
