Hi,
We are using guest customization on RHEL8 and configuring ipadress, hostname, etc works fine. However running a customization script did't funtion well. vRA verison 8.1 and vSphere version 7
We conduct the test by adding the following script, according to https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/74880:
#!/bin/sh echo "$(date) - $1" >>/tmp/customization.log After the vm been created the /tmp/customization.log file did't created in the deployed VM.
the logs from toolsDeployPkg.log :
020-10-09T11:23:28 INFO: Reads value of the deployPkg enable-custom-scripts
2020-10-09T11:23:28 DEBUG: Command: 'vmware-toolbox-cmd config get "deployPkg" "enable-custom-scripts" 2>/tmp/guest.customization.stderr'
