Description
This patch updates the tools-light VIB to resolve the following issues:
On an ESXi host, attempts to hot clone or take a quiesced snapshot of a Linux virtual machine might fail with the following error message if the VMX option disk.EnableUUID is enabled on a guest operating system:
Error when enabling the sync provider.
This issue occurs because the sync code in the guest operating system interprets the disk UUIDs passed by the VMX file as file system paths.
The Managed Object Browser (MOB) for GuestInfo.ipAddress data object might not be populated correctly, and the value of GuestInfo.ipAddress data object might be displayed as unset when more than four loop back interfaces are configured.
This issue occurs when VMware Tools fails to determine a valid guest operating system IP address.
Virtual Machines running on an ESXi host where McAfee MOVE Agentless 3.0 protection is enabled might appear to become unresponsive with a black screen for a long time during login.
This issue might also occur with other partner solutions.
