I have a very basic port of open-vm-tools running on OpenServer 6:
- heartbeat established
- guestOSType set to "openServer6" which the vSphere client
displays as "SCO OpenServer 6"
- all IP addresses are visible
- fully qualified domain name is presented.
and the same information is visible through the Managed Object Browser
GuestInfo page for that VM
I have poked around the various open-vm-tools commands for Unix:
- rpctool - setting and retrieving guestInfo variable(s).
- vmware-toolbox-cmd - help, device, disk (no shrinking yet), stat,
script, timesync
- vmware-xferlogs (although not certain how to verify the content
transfered)
- vmtoolsd -cmd=
- limited set of commands such as enabling/disabling time sync.
What I would really like to accomplish is a more thorough round of testing.
I have built the Cunit open source package required to build the tests
directory, which yields several *.so files, but I am not certain how to
utilize this shared objects.
- a "gmake check" does nothing
- the vmtoolsd has an option for debug mode (-g) and an associated path,
but nothing on how to run any specific set of tests.
Is there some test suite that is available to the open-vm-tools developers
to validate a build and is it available to the public?
Is there a list of the object data items that can be queried or managed
by the
vmtoolsd -cmd? or a complete list of supported vmtoolsd CMDs?
How much of the objects managed by the ESX host "vmware-cmd" are accessible
through and appropriately constructed vmtoolsd cmd or an rpctool command?
Thanks for any information. Off to work on various modules now....
