Does 'lsmod' show vmci and vsock drivers? Comment 3 Gajanan UTC Created attachment [details] vmware-vmsvc-log vmware-vmsvc. Let me know if there is any other workaround to fix it temporarily. Also let me know if any logs are required for the same. Let me know if there is any other workaround to fix it. Ravindra, as this issue seems not related to vmci or vsock driver, it related to ESXi host, please help check it, thanks very much!

Oh, I did not realize customer is using ESXi 6. This is expected behavior with ESXi 6. Reporting version details with open-vm-tools requires ESXi 6. I tried reproduce on our ESXi6. From logs, the version used is: [Apr 09 I will attach it to the bug privately and ask ldu to provide it to you, since its customer data I cannot post it public. From logs, I see that vmtoolsd was able to use vSocket channel. I expect VMTools version to be correctly reported for the case logs have been provided for.

We need to look at ESXi host side logs to diagnose it further. We also need to diagnose ESXi 6. There are release notes for technical and release notes and I looked at the tech notes for the kernel under the technical documentation, however there wasn't any information.

Looks like that is quite a bit of information and it might not be matching the kernel log, as I'm currently running the following kernel:. Comments 3. I have a RHEL 6. Expert points. Log in to join the conversation. CM Expert points. Christopher Miller.

This is part of the response that I've got: There are multiples modules got included in the latest kernel of RHEL-6, but again those are written by Red Hat, its taken from upstream and included in the latest kernel of RHEL 6 and 7 to make the functionality more smother.

Guru points.
