From f3d43dfd9a8a870160f0aaf7bd692b9ce4827ead Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Weißschuh Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2021 15:04:19 +0200 Subject: vmdk: allow specification of tools version VMDK files support an attribute that represents the version of the guest tools that are installed on the disk. This attribute is used by vSphere before a machine has been started to determine if the VM has the guest tools installed. This is important when configuring "Operating system customizations" in vSphere, as it checks for the presence of the guest tools before allowing those customizations. Thus when the VM has not yet booted normally it would be impossible to customize it, therefore preventing a customized first-boot. The attribute should not hurt on disks that do not have the guest tools installed and indeed the VMware tools also unconditionally add this attribute. (Defaulting to the value "2147483647", as is done in this patch) Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Message-Id: <20210913130419.13241-1-thomas.weissschuh.ext@zeiss.com> [hreitz: Added missing '#' in block-core.json] Signed-off-by: Hanna Reitz --- qapi/block-core.json | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'qapi') diff --git a/qapi/block-core.json b/qapi/block-core.json index ce2c1352cb..69698a4ffe 100644 --- a/qapi/block-core.json +++ b/qapi/block-core.json @@ -4691,6 +4691,8 @@ # @adapter-type: The adapter type used to fill in the descriptor.
