Package: open-vm-tools
Version: 2:10.1.5-5055683-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?

Debian 9 vm working fine on HW version 8 for months using VMXNET3 network interface
In VMWare virtualcenter Server, VM on ESXi running VMWare 6.5, I upgraded VM hardware from verson 8
to version 13.

Network interface worked ok for a a while, then sporadically disconnected from the network for 5-20 minutes, 
eventually hard-locking the vm
 

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?


I powered down the VM, deleted the VMXNET3 network interface, and added back a E1000 network interface.
The system has been up now without problems for 15 hours


Not sure if this is the place for this package- not sure where the VMXNET3 driver lives - maybe that is
a remnant left over from an old VMware tools install that I did then disbled in favor of open-vm-tools ?

Unclear where all the parts live.  Apologies if this is user error.

Thank you for supporting Debian!

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
