This was fixed in Fedora (bug 1077320). Ravindra - are we going to rebase open-vm-tools? I can't find the rebase bug right now. Richard, rebase will not solve it because dependency is still there. Immediate solution to this dependency was reported under bug 1090695. (In reply to Ravindra Kumar from comment #3) > Richard, rebase will not solve it because dependency is still there. > Immediate solution to this dependency was reported under bug 1090695. Ah OK, that was the bug I was looking for. |
Description of problem: It is not possible to shut down ("shut down guest OS") a VM in VMware vSphere 5.5 even though open-vm-tools are installed. When the command is issued, VMware will return "A general system error occurred: Invalid fault" error message and then do nothing. How reproducible: * Install CentOS (minimal install) * Install open-vm-tools * Try to restart VM from ESXi / vCenter UI ("shut down guest OS") Actual results: When the command is issued, VMware will return "A general system error occurred: Invalid fault" error message and then do nothing. Expected results: VMware should shut down the VM. Additional info: It looks like open-vm-tools try to use 'ifconfig' which is deprecated and not shipped by default anymore: [root@foobar vmware-tools]# ./poweroff-vm-default Fri Aug 15 02:23:41 CEST 2014 : Executing './poweroff-vm-default' Fri Aug 15 02:23:41 CEST 2014 : Executing './scripts/vmware/network' Aug 15 02:23:41 network: ifconfig not in search path. After the net-tools package is installed, everything works as expected. The packages open-vm-tools requires new scripts which do not rely on the 'ifconfig' tool.
