UTM9: VMware Tools Not Running

szo850
We have recently upgraded from Astaro V8.3 to UTM9 (virtual appliance, utm_9.003_esx_v5_x64_smp-disk1.vmdk) and we experience issues with vmware tools. 

On our former Astaro V8, vmware tools status was reported as “Running (3rd-party/Independent)”. But on the new UTM9, the status is “Not Running (3rd-party/Independent)”. This causes issues in the vMotion pre-check to fail, and also make us unable to do soft shutdowns/restarts.

Any ideas how to fix this? 

Rgrds,
Simon

    Hi, 
    The pre-built VM images have some problems; e.g. they don't use the ideal network drivers, and iirc they don't have SMP support.

    This is apparently because of a requirement by VMWare for publically distributed images.

    It's recommended to build a new VM from the Software ISO, and use the VMXNET3 NIC drivers.
