Hi,

 

Please point me to a downloadable version of vm-tools which has been
tested on Linux kernel 2.6.23, 64-bit build.

I am primarily interested in integrating vmxnet3 driver into our Linux
2.6.23 64-bit guest (Cisco product) running on top of ESXi 4.0 server,
in order to enable paravirtualization and improve performance for heavy
network throughput workloads.

We have attempted to install vm-tools earlier in our guest without much
success, so I am currently working on compiling vmxnet3 (extracted from
2.6.34 kern src or from downloaded open-vm-tools-2010.03.20-243334,
whatever works better) for our kernel.

Am a bit worried that  vmxnet3 sources included in 2.6.32 or later are
not compatible with our 2.6.23 kernel.

 

Am also open to other suggestions how to improve perf on this config.

 

Thanks,

Robert
