I've fixed the issue and now have a (mostly) populated GuestNicInfo and GuestStackInfo on vSphere 5.1. I'll get the paperwork done so I can submit this patch along with some another I have to handle shadow passwords when PAM is not being used.

Thanks for the information. If this structure was correctly populated and transmitted over the channel, should I expect guest.net to be populated in vSphere's object model? It appears that the NicInfoV3 structure is not being correctly populated. The IP address's are not being correctly copied over to the TypedIpAddress struct in GuestInfoSockAddrToTypedIpAddress() (guestInfo.c).

I believe at minimum you need to have guestinfo plugin running. I do not believe we have ever tried to reduce the tools build to something that is absolutely required to retrieve guestinfo data, though. Thanks, Dmitry |

Hello, I am looking for minimal set of apps&libs to read VMware environment properties set in vCenter during OVA deployment. Something like what mentioned here: http://blogs.vmware.com/vapp/2009/07/selfconfiguration-and-the-ovf-environment.html or like this: /usr/sbin/vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.ovfEnv" I wonder if it's possible to use open-vm-tools for that. Would appreciate any suggestions, Thanks, ~ Alex. |

No. It sounds to be a new feature but not sure if it really adds any value because host anyway controls the guest. Given that all the communication to vmtoolsd is from host, if host access is controlled through proper role/access control in VC, SET mode should not bother you. However, if you want to control VIX operations from within guest, you can configure tools.conf to disable specific VIX operations. Here are the examples: Following two lines will disable all VIX operations: [ guestoperations ] disabled=TRUE Following lines will disable operations like VixVM_RunProgramInGuest , VixVM_CopyFileFromHostToGuest , VixVM_CreateDirectoryInGuest , VixVM_CreateTempFileInGuest , VixVM_DeleteDirectoryInGuest , VixVM_DeleteFileInGuest , VixVM_KillProcessInGuest , VixVM_RenameFileInGuest operations : [ guestoperations ] StartProgramInGuest.disabled=TRUE TerminateProcessInGuest .disabled=TRUE MakeDirectoryInGuest .disabled=TRUE DeleteFileInGuest .disabled=TRUE DeleteDirectoryInGuest .disabled=TRUE MoveDirectoryInGuest .disabled=TRUE MoveFileInGuest .disabled=TRUE CreateTemporaryFileInGuest .disabled=TRUE CreateTemporaryDirectoryInGuest .disabled=TRUE ChangeFileAttributesInGuest .disabled=TRUE InitiateFileTransferToGuest .disabled=TRUE There are some more commands to modify guest registry and running scripts inside guest etc which (unfortunately) have no control provided through tools.conf. > There is limited info guestd module per say. What are the various GETs > and SETs that can be done with guestd? vmtoolsd collects resource usage information, provides soft power operations, performs time synchronization with the host, and provides backend for VIX APIs ( https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/vix112_reference/index2.html ). Most of the operations are GET. There are some of the VIX operations that modify things in guest. You can see these from the VIX reference page above. > Do any of those need Guest OS's root/admin login credentials? Typically, all the guest operations require login credentials and run as that user whose credentials have been provided. |

Hi, I have question about the how strict or loose is the environment if I am running a VM with only guestd - guest daemon - of vmtools (no other modules). I noticed that PowerCLI, VIX and other vSphere management packages having the ability of running scripts on VM and changing IP of VM etc., Do they talk to guestd of vmtools as they send those commands to VM? What is the architecture there? Is there anyway to make guestd to operate only in GET mode, but not SET mode? There is limited info guestd module per say. What are the various GETs and SETs that can be done with guestd? Do any of those need Guest OS's root/admin login credentials? Thanks. |

Category: kernel modules Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 8 Private: No Submitted By: David Koudela (dkoudela) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Perforce versioning system fails when running sync command o Initial Comment: Perforce versioning system fails when running sync command on hgfs filesytem. The problem is that perforce client uses rename operation upon a temp file which has read-only attributes. The operation then fails with permission denied (see attached test application). The fix we have provided removes the read only attribute and retries the rename operation again (see attached source code and diff). The same code is already there (see function HgfsDelete) – probably it is a good idea to refactor the retry procedure. Could you please add this fix to the upstream of the VMware tools? Thanks a lot, David. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: David Koudela (dkoudela) Date: 2013-05-06 22:27 Message: Hi Steve, Thanks a lot!

Is it not possible to provide ability to install/run open-vm-tools without enabling modules in the kernel? it is possible since at least 2-3 years: lsmod | grep vm vmxnet3 49484 0 vmw_balloon 13415 0 vmw_pvscsi 22858 7 Kernel 3.9: lsmod | grep vm vmw_pvscsi 22858 2 vmxnet3 49578 0 vmw_vmci 61299 0 vmw_balloon 13415 0 so use a recent kernel or enable modules that is how the linux kernel works nobody can fix this for you if you insist in stoneage kernels |
