NAME
vmt —
VMware Tools driver
SYNOPSIS
vmt0 at pvbus0
DESCRIPTION
The vmt driver is a kernel level
implementation of VMware Tools. VMware Tools are intended to provide better
support for operating systems running inside virtual machines.
vmt handles shutdown and reboot requests
from the host by signalling
init(8) with SIGUSR2 and
SIGINT respectively. vmt
will log notifications that the guest has been suspended or resumed by the
host. It also provides access to the host machine's clock as a timedelta
sensor.
vmt reports the guest's hostname and all
non-loopback IP addresses to the host.
SEE ALSO
pvbus(4), init(8), sensorsd(8), sysctl(8)
A vmwh helper program is available via packages(7).
HISTORY
The vmt driver first appeared in
OpenBSD 4.4.
