Changelog:
What's New
VMware Tools is a suite of utilities that enhances the performance of the \
virtual machine's guest operating system and improves management of the virtual \
machine. Read about the new and enhanced features in this release below:
Common versioning: Infrastructure changes to enable reporting of the true \
version of open-vm-tools. This feature is dependent on host support.
Quiesced snapshots enhancements for Linux guests running IO workload: \
Robustness related enhancements in quiesced snapshot operation. The vmtoolsd \
service supports caching of log messages when guest IO has been quiesced. \
Enhancements in the vmbackup plugin use a separate thread to quiesce the guest \
OS to avoid timeout issues due to heavy I/O in the guest.
Shared Folders: For Linux distributions with kernel version 4.0.0 and \
higher, there is a new FUSE based Shared Folders client which is used as a \
replacement for the kernel mode client.
ESXi Serviceability: Default vmtoolsd logging is directed to a file instead \
of syslog. vmware-toolbox-cmd is enhanced for setting vmtoolsd logging levels.
GuestInfo Enhancements: Plugin enhancements to report more than 64 IP \
addresses from the guest. These enhancements will be available only after \
upgrading the host because the guest IP addresses limit also exists on the host \
side.
