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 <[email protected]> Message-Id: <[email protected]> [hreitz: Added missing '#' in block-core.json] Signed-off-by: Hanna Reitz <[email protected]>
