yum-vmware-tools Cookbook

Build Status

Installs vmware-tools for EL 5, from packages.vmware.com.

For EL 6, installs open-vm-tools by default, from EPEL.

An undo recipe is included to remove, and cleanup, older vmware-tools installations.

Requirements

  • RHEL platform family, version 5 or 6.
  • VMWare guest.

packages

  • dmidecode - needs dmidecode to inspect BIOS, and determine VMWare virtual hardware.

Attributes

yum-vmware-tools::default

These are the attributes you may need to override in a role.

  • yum['vmware']['version'] - VMWare Tool release string, used to compute baseurl.

    • Default, 'latest'

  • yum['vmware']['force_official'] - Force official VMWare packages to be used as the yum source on EL6.
    Opposed to using open-vm-tools sourced from EPEL.

    • Default, false, uses open-vm-tools from EPEL.

These are attributes you should probably leave alone.

  • yum['vmware']['enabled'] - Boolean flag, computed by presence of VMWare virtual hardware.

    • Default, true when dmi['system']['manufacturer'] is 'VMWare Inc.', false on other hardware.

  • yum['vmware']['baseurl'] - Base URL, to use in the vmware-tools.repo file.

    • Default, computed by yum['vmware']['version'] and node['platform_version'].

  • yum['vmware']['gpgkey'] - URL of VMWare packaging key

  • yum['vmware']['packages'] - List of packages to install

    • EL5 default, [ vmware-tools-esx, vmware-tools-esx-kmods ]
    • EL6 default, [ open-vm-tools ]

  • yum['vmware']['services'] - Service script(s) to enable, and start

    • EL5 default, [ vmware-tools-services ]
    • EL6 default, [ vmtoolsd ]

Usage

yum-vmware-tools::default

Example, force official repository on Enterprise Linux 6.x

default_attributes(
  :yum => {
    :vmware => {
      :force_official => false
    } 
  }
),
run_list: [ "recipe[yum-vmware-tools]" ]

v0.16.3

Set name/base_url to localdomain in the case Ohai domain is

v0.16.2

Change corporate recipe to key off domain name.

v0.16.0

Add VMWare Tools for ESX v5.0u1, along with a vmware-tools-upgrade

recipe. The yumrepo::vmware-tools recipe is backwards incompatible.
Unfortunately there is no way to upgrade vmware-tools rpm files without
yanking them out, and replacing them.

One must ensure the `vmware-tools-upgrade` recipe will run **before**

the vmware-tools recipe. Otherwise the 4.1 recipe will directly
conflict with the 5.0u1 version of the recipe.

I also added some attribute sanity tests for this new version, enjoy!
