VMT driver (VMware Tools driver) on OpenBSD 4.8
EHLO !
I'm really interested by "vmt" driver (VMware Tools driver) but I can't get it work. These driver as been updated on the 4.8 version to support clean shutdown et reboot through hypervisor request as mentionned on the man page (in the past, it was "only" a timedelta sensor). Quote:
Then I have tested the following How To: Code:
# cd /usr/src # wget ftp://your.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/sys.tar.gz # tar -xzvpf sys.tar.gz # cp /bsd /bsd.backup # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC.vmt # vi /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC.vmt -> uncomment the line: vmt0 at mainbus? # VMware Tools # cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf # config GENERIC.vmt # cd .. # make clean && make depend && make # make install source Could you help me ? |

Thank you jggimi !
Now the VMT driver is correctly loaded in kernel. But this version of VMT don't have the last update as mentionned on the Manual Pages. It's only the timedelta sensor. How can I update only this module from CVS ? It seems that the last version have all the new features. |

The OpenBSD kernel is not modular, you cannot pick and choose drivers from later releases.. that is unsupported.
|
|

Thank you for details.
So, no clean way to install last VMT driver. How can I do proper shutdown of my OpenBSD 4.8 VM's on VMware ESXi ? |
|
|||
Okay, I'll try current.
I don't have anymore questions. Thank you |
