[Bug 1546312] Re: Please update to open-vm-tools 10.0.7
In order to enable cloud-init to work on vSphere/ESXi, Ubuntu needs to include open-vm-tools 10.0.7 or later. Can you please include this in 16.04 release. It does not appear to be included in Beta2.

[Bug 1269985] Re: Revert package back to Devel release
I think the problem is related to including the kernel modules from open-vm-tools that are not necessary because VMware is contributing the kernel modules upstream directly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1269985 Title: Revert package back to Devel release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1269985/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1220950] Re: [MIR] open-vm-tools
All drivers supported by vSphere/ESXi have been accepted upstream as of the 3.9 kernel, these are: - vmxnet3 (our virtual NIC) = Accepted in the 2.6.32 kernel and began shipping in the Ubuntu 10.04 release - vmw_pvscsi (our virtual HBA) = Acceted in the 2.6.33 kernel and began shipping in the Ubuntu 10.04 release - vmware_balloon (memory balloon driver) = Accepted in the 2.6.34 kernel and began shipping in the Ubuntu 10.10 release - vmwgfx (virtual graphics driver) = Accepted in the 3.2 kernel and began shipping in the Ubuntu 12.04 release. - vsock and vmw_vmci (virtual socket interface and virtual communication channel) = Accepted in the 3.9 release and appears to be included in the latest Ubuntu 13.10 Alpha vmxnet and vmblock are obsolete, so don't worry about those drivers. VMware personal desktop products, Workstation and Fusion, have one more driver called hgfs. This driver has not been contributed upstream, but we are looking into obsoleting the need for this driver by using FUSE if we get the performance required. Going forward, Open-VM-Tools project will only consist of user-space apps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220950 Title: [MIR] open-vm-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1220950/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1220950] Re: [MIR] open-vm-tools
Regarding the question: what would the tools get us in a cloud image, here is some more details for you: Open-VM-Tools is a suite of open source virtualization utilities that improves the functionality, administration and management of virtual machines on VMware hypervisors. Benefits of bundling Open-VM-Tools with the guest operating system: - When Open-VM-Tools is bundled with the operating system, users get the best out-of-box experience to efficiently deploy virtual machines on VMware virtual infrastructure. - Eliminates the need to separately install VMware Tools when Open-VM-Tools is bundled with the operating system because Open-VM-Tools is a fully supported open source implementation of VMware Tools. - Reduces operational expenses and virtual machine downtime because updates to Open-VM-Tools packages are provided with the operating system maintenance updates and patches. This eliminates separate maintenance cycles for VMware Tools updates. - No compatibility matrix checking required for Open-VM-Tools. Adhering to vSphere compatibility matrix for the guest OS release is sufficient. - Open-VM-Tools bundled with the operating system provides a compact foot-print optimized for each OS release. Open-VM-Tools consist of the following three packages: open-vm-tools package This package contains the core Open-VM-Tools user-space programs and libraries, including vmtoolsd, that provide the following features: - Synchronization of the guest OS clock with the virtualization platform - Enables the virtual infrastructure to perform graceful power operations (shut down) and file system quiescing of the virtual machine - Provides a heartbeat from guest to the virtualization infrastructure to support vSphere High Availability (HA) - Publishes information about the guest OS to the virtualization platform, including resource utilization and networking information - Provides a secure and authenticated mechanism to perform various operations within the guest OS from the virtualization infrastructure - Accepts additional plug-ins that can extend or customize Open-VM-Tools functionality open-vm-tools-desktop package This optional package extends Open-VM-Tools with additional user-space programs and libraries to improve interactive functionality of virtual machines when hosted on VMware's Workstation or Fusion products. The following features are enabled by this package: - Enables text copy and paste operation between host and guest (either direction) - Enables drag and drop operation between host and guest (either direction) - Enables guest screen resizing open-vm-tools-devel package This optional package extends Open-VM-Tools with additional user-space libraries for developers and contains: - Libraries for developing vmtoolsd plug-ins - Documentation for the libraries -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220950 Title: [MIR] open-vm-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1220950/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
