Resolved Issues
The open-vm-tools process might take a long time and consume 100% CPU of a \
core in a Linux OS with many IPv6 routes
Prior to open-vm-tools 10.3.0, gathering network adapter information in a \
Linux guest OS with many IPv6 routes was a time-consuming process with 100% use \
of the CPU of a core. The exported data contained only a maximum of 100 routes. \
IPv4 routes took precedence over IPv6, leading to data loss in reporting IPv6 \
routes. If there were more than 100 IPv4 routes, IPv6 routes were not reported.
This performance issue has been resolved in this release. The default routes \
gathering behavior can be overridden by configuring the values in the \
/etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf file:
[guestinfo]
max-ipv4-routes=0
max-ipv6-routes=0
Note: If they are not manually set, or an invalid value (over 100 or less \
than 0) is set, 'max-ipv4-routes' and 'max-ipv6-routes' are set to 100 by \
default. They can be set to 0 to disable the data collection.
This issue is resolved in this release.
Installation of the libvmtools package might fail the installation of VMware \
Tools
When the package "libvmtools0" is installed in SUSE Linux 12 and \
open-vm-tools is not installed, the VMware Tools installer fails. This is done \
to prevent an incomplete installation. Users have to uninstall both \
open-vm-tools and libvmtools0 packages to install VMware Tools.
