Failed Services in VMWare ESXi 5 after SME/CentOS kernel update
Knyte:
Hello,
I am running SME 8.0 (upgraded from 8b7 with no problems) in a VM. The physical machine is an HP DL360 G5, dual-quad Xeons, 16 GB RAM running ESXi 5. The VM has been assigned two procs and 1 GB RAM, plenty for what I need. Great setup for a vanity/family site, I couldn't be happier with SME.
I have VMTools installed (which was a bit of a chore!)...however, when I installed the CentOS kernel update this morning, noticed the following errors (booting into an earler kernel has no errors):
VM Communication Interface [FAILED]
VM Communication Interface Socket Family [FAILED]
Guest Operating System Daemon [OK]
[FAILED]
...that last FAILED looks exactly like that, nothing preceding it.
Re-install VMTools?
Thanks in advance

I would guess so. Or delete them - you don't need vmware-tools to run SME server. Why did you install them?
Also I would note that vmware-tools are not part of SME server, so off-topic in this forum.

I thought VMTools helps with memory management and such? They are installed in an effort to reach optimal performance, that's the only reason.

Sorry about that...pls move to wherever more appropriate if need be.
Stefano:
AFAIK every time you upgrade your kernel AND you have vmware-tools running, you have to call
--- Code: ---vmware-config-tools.pl
--- End code ---
please be aware you must execute it form a local console, not from a remote one

Just out of curiosity: does that also hold true when run from a screen session when connected remotely?
