2020-06-22 07:03:31 Christian Ehrhardt  description Version 11.1.0 adds the sdmp plugin, see https://marketplace.vmware.com/vsx/solutions/vrealize-operations-service-discovery-management-pack?ref=search This should be in an optional separate package. Attached is a patch for the Debian scripts that would create this package. This has been used in our internal testing. Note that there is an additional runtime dependency on net-tools for netstat. Also at Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=960065 Thanks, Oliver [Impact] * In the past a lack of updated open-vm-tools versions was found fatal and therefore we agreed to regularly backport those to the latest LTS. This is backporting the recent version 11.1 to Focal. * The main bug for 11.0 is bug 1877672. But this time other than the fixes/improvements this will also bring a new plugin "sdmp" which I'd like to: a) discuss separately fro the SRU process b) have VMWare test explicitly as part of the verification [Test Case] * Test open-vm-tools done by VMWare QA Team as agreed for these backports. [Regression Potential] * As I said this bug is especially for the sdmp plugin. I doubt it will regress anyone since it is not installed by default (only a suggests). The only (unlikely) case I can tihnk of is if someone does like apt install open-vm-* or something like that. But even in that case the plugin does not do much until actually probed from the host. [Other Info] * This is a practice for or quite a while (almost two years now), see: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1741390 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1784638 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1813944 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1822204 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1844834 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1868012 The request back then came from the community and the decision back then was between VMWare and Ubuntu. VMWare QA Team since then does the qualification of these uploads as we (I) don't have a matrix of Host versions for that around. Under the accepted special SRU cases [1] this qualifies for #2 and #3 of [2].
