Installed TC on VMWARE 6.7 with open-vm-tools but tools are not running

Installed TC on VMWare ESX 6.7 and installed open-vm-tools.tcz. It is also in the onboot.lst but when rebooting host still says vmtools are not running.  I am running TC without GUI so shell only . I want to make sure that TC loaded the optimized vmxnet3 driver since i want to use the TC install as a very little bridge.

How to check on TC if vmtools are running as i suspect ESX just not detecting right. I am not sure because on other linux distro's ESX always detects correct that tools is running.

Also some help with installing a bridge extension would be nice because alle extensions i found online are not installing with tce-load which puzzles me because i thought there was one uniform repository for TC??

I am running TC version 11.1

The vmtoolsd service does not start automatically. Read the info file that comes with the open-vm-tools extension for more information. You will need to add the services you wish to start to /opt/bootlocal.sh. Try one of the following examples:


--- Code: ---# start all installed services
for a in $(find -L /usr/local/etc/init.d -type f); do
      [ -x $a ] && $a start &
done

--- End code ---
or

--- Code: ---# start only listed services
for a in gpm openssh open-vm-tools bind php-fpm nginx httpd; do
        [ -x /usr/local/etc/init.d/$a ] && /usr/local/etc/init.d/$a start &
done

--- End code ---

Ok thanks i should have been reading more to understand the working of TC a bit more. Did take it for regular linux but now i understand some things are not configured out of the box. Like services.

I did the following:
sudo vi /opt/bootlocal.sh

added the following hardcoded line instead of the fancy example:
/usr/local/etc/init.d/open-vm-tools start

esc :x to save and exit.
checked content of the file /opt/bootlocal.sh with cat and all was ok.
checked content of the file /opt/.filetool.lst which has the default content:
opt
home

made file persistent (yes did some reading).
sudo filetool.sh -b
it says it is backing up the file but the done message is never appearing??

sudo reboot

And now all my changes in the /opt/bootlocal.sh are gone.

I think i followed the guides ok why is the filetool not making a correct backup??

LeonStraathof:
I looked at the output of the filetool.sh -b statement. It created a new /mnt/sda1/tce/mydata.tgz file (timestamp changes each time i backup) but filesize is always 0 bytes??

With filetool.sh no news is bad news. If it doesn't say "Done." it failed. Something you are trying to back up is unreadable or unreachable. Try filetool.sh with the -v verbose option and see if that gives you a hint to what it doesn't like.
