VMware Tools resume script did not run successfully

[firstascent]

Hi,

Sure.

VMware Tools has a mechanism that can run a script on resume or startup.
In this case it is the resume script that is the culprit. There's a default resume script that appears to have a problem running, you can also set it to run a custom resume script.
The default resume script is mostly used to renew IP addresses in case the IP address is assigned via DHCP as the IP address might have been used by something else after resume.

The official VMware documentation about VMware Tools scripts can be found here:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tools/...D9CE9.html


Here's a few threads on VMTN about similar issues, that might help:

Let me know if that helps and if not then please tell me which version of HAOS you installed and which flavor so I can have a look later this week (no time for installing OS's today I'm afraid).

Thanks Wil, 

My understanding is that those scripts would be installed on the guest OS correct? which HAOS I don't believe supports that.

The good news is that for now I have a work around, I set 

Code:

powerType.suspend = "soft"

to

Code:

powerType.suspend = "hard"

For now I can at least shutdown the host os without any popups and on restart it restarts the guest OS successfully with no popups.
To be honest I need to do some digging to fully understand the implications of changing this from soft to hard but at least I can get the system to run without user input as required.
