VMware Tools not installed after upgrade to R80.20 take 118 on SMS.

[PatrikSkoglund]

I noticed today that VMware tools are being reported(in vmware) as not running, not installed after I upgraded the SMS to r80.20 take 118.

Is there a way to start wmware tools on the SMS manually?

Br,

Found the command! 🙂

Maybe this had something to do with it:

GAIA-4695, PRJ-614

Gaia OS

When running "service vmtoolsd restart" command on Gaia installation with VMware, the "Installing memory driver: FATAL: Module vmmemctl not found. [FAILED]" error is displayed although the vmw_balloon.ko driver is loaded.

Ran "service vmtoolsd restart" and it started working again.
