Description Ravindra Kumar 2015-02-04 22:13:54 UTC
Description of problem:

A guest running with open-vm-tools does not report ipRouteConfig information into vSphere. Details of this issue reported here https://sourceforge.net/p/open-vm-tools/tracker/184/.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All Fedora versions including open-vm-tools.

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install open-vm-tools in the guest
2. Collect guest information using vSphere guestInfo API (https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc/vim.vm.GuestInfo.StackInfo.html)
3.

Actual results: NetIpRouteConfigInfo is empty

Expected results: NetIpRouteConfigInfo must be reported

Additional info: This issue is being tracked upstream as well, so fix will be available in the upstream code with next release of open-vm-tools. However, we can fix the existing open-vm-tools issue by a simple makefile fix in the meantime.
