Description Marko Myllynen 2016-10-26 07:31:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
vm-support script tries to collect some GRUB configuration files but no GRUB2 files. Looks like it should also try to grab /boot/grub/grub.cfg, /boot/grub/grubenv, and /etc/default/grub.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
open-vm-tools-10.0.5-2.el7.x86_64
Comment 2 Ravindra Kumar 2017-01-04 19:55:55 UTC 
It does not sound critical. I have raised a VMware internal bug for this to fix upstream.

Ravindra, What's the internal PR number?
Comment 4 Ravindra Kumar 2017-06-28 05:48:21 UTC 
It is 1790124.

WW50 Updates:

Tried to use vm-support in open-vm-tools-10.3.0-1.el8.x86_64 (kernel-4.18.0-48.el8.x86_64) and  open-vm-tools-10.2.5-3.el7.x86_64 (kernel-3.10.0-967.el7.x86_64) to collect info. Not found info of grub.

So, any update for this issue?

Closing as current release. If the resolution or status should be different, please change. Thanks.

This is to confirm that collection of GRUB and GRUB2 configuration files by the vm-support script is not needed.

The internal VMware PR 1790124 will be used to track the removal of GRUB file(s) collection from the vm-support script in a future release of open-vm-tools.
