Hello everyone!
I have an ESXi 5.1 host on Dell R610. I have noticed that Linux guests without X Windows installed don't have IP address and DNS name on vSphere Summary tab. Tried installing VMware Tools from ISO(Guest->Install/Upgrade VMware tools), as well as OSP version.
Windows guests as well as Linux guests that have X Windows installed have no such issues.
Could anyone please give me a hint why it is not working.
I have tried all actions described at http://communities.vmware.com/thread/403001
Namely:
1. Rebooting guest
2. Re-installing vmware-tools, changing it to OSP from original tools supplied with ESXi.
3. Removin/re-adding VM from host inventory.
4. Restarting services.sh on host
5. KB 1013371 - setting isolation.tools.setinfo.disable configuration option to FALSE
Thank you for any suggestions.
