Description Rick Barry 2018-07-16 16:32:26 UTC

From ravindrakumar (see bug 1525267):

We have also patched this in open-vm-tools - https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/commit/443eced089b634176c6ad1f56512a43381997abc.

We have submitted the patch to Fedora as well - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/open-vm-tools/c/0c5cdadec41bc7785bbd2066bf0d6feda4050e21?branch=master. We would like RHEL to pick this patch.

These are needed to work with cloud-init and python-2.

Comment 2 Ravindra Kumar 2018-07-16 20:05:54 UTC

Thanks Rick for filing this bug.

Comment 3 Rick Barry 2018-07-17 18:34:55 UTC

Mirek, is it possible to take Ravindra's open-vm-tools patch into RHEL-7.6? Without this patch, customer will need to update to python 3.

Lili, I removed you from the "assigned to" field and made you QA contact. I think that's what you meant to do.

Thanks Rick, that exactly what I want to do.

Comment 5 Miroslav Rezanina 2018-07-20 03:30:03 UTC

Yes,
I'll apply the patch for RHEL version and send it for review so we can include it in our RHEL release.

Comment 7 ldu 2018-08-22 09:39:48 UTC

Retest with open-vm-tools-10.2.5-3.el7 on RHEL 7.6, Customize guest with cloud-init works well, the timezone, hostname, ip could be changed successfully.

@yanjin,
I upload open-vm-tools-10.2.5-3.el7 to below link:
http://people.redhat.com/ldu/rpm/
you can do some test with it.

Verified with the provided open-vm-tools-10.2.5-3, GOS Customization works with cloud-init.
Also ran some regression test for GuestOPs & Guest Info. All planned test cases are Passed.
