RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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

It does not sound critical. I have raised a VMware internal bug for this to fix upstream.

Ravindra, What's the internal PR number?

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?

Created attachment 1513867 [details]
open-vm-tools-10.2.5-3.el7_vm_support.output

Created attachment 1513868 [details]
open-vm-tools-10.3.0-1.el8_vm_supports.output

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.
