--- Begin Message ---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.
