http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1124397 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1124397#c1 --- Comment #1 from Oliver Kurth <okurth@vmware.com> --- A short summary of the changes: - Attempt to notify the host that a backup manifest is available on every completed snapshot. Previously vmtoolsd attempted to detect whether the host was running an older version of ESX that did not support receiving a backup manifest, which occasionally resulted in it erroneously identifying a host as an older host. - Provide more informative logging messages when a backup manifest notification is refused by the host. - Abort quiesced snapshot operations promptly after detecting that the host has aborted its side of the operation. Previously vmtools would continue until it hit its own internal timeout. - Don’t try to notify the host that a backup manifest is available when the quiesced snapshot is aborted. We suggest to have these changes integrated into the 10.3.5 package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
