From: Prisco Farina [mailto:pri...@gm...] Sent: Friday, March 25, 2016 8:28 AM To: ope...@li...<mailto:ope...@li...> Subject: heartbeat watchdog feature Hi guys, I am looking to https://github.com/drothlis/open-vm-tools/tree/master/lib/rpcOut and in particular I have interest to use openvm tools in my virtual machine for the watchdog feature. As far as I understood (I hope correctly) vSphere supports this kind of service on host but it is required to install vmware tools. Due the fact that my virtual machine is like a skeleton, I mean that from that many many things are removed for performance purposes, I wish to know if open-vm-tools are sufficient to be used for this kind of functionality I wish (Heartbeat and restart machine in case of loop/etc). In the directories I have seen rpcIn and rpcOut that probably are modules I need for heartbeat, I have interest to know how I can compile just these one and install it on my machine. My virtual machine is not using vmxnet but e1000 driver, could I replace it with e1000 ? Can you help? [Image removed by sender.] Thank you very much for clarifications/support :) Prisco |
