All I expect from vmware/open-vm-tools is ability for clean
shutdown of gentoo-guest in similar way as I can do it with
windows-guest. How can I achieve this?
You mean shut the guest down via ESXi management console? If you, try
installing acpid inside the guest and add it to the default runlevel.
I have it running and created /etc/acpi/event/power :
event=button/power.*
action=/sbin/shutdown -h now
But I do not know how to trigger short power-button press.
In vSphere-Client "shutdown guest" is still grey, and
when I click on "Power->PowerOff", it is just powered off,
without shutdown (as if power-button was pressed for long
time). I suppose vmware-tools are needed for this...
