Docker and arbitrary NICINFO_MAX_NICS #128
Comments
|
The limit of 16 comes from physical NICs. Probably, we should ignore the docker container NICs. You could suppress the log message by adding following to /etc/vmware/tools.conf: start[logging] endBTW, how does your 'ifconfig -a' look like? |
|
Actual IPs changed to protect the innocent, this is after a reboot and service start so disregard packet counts on the veths: |
|
I'm having a similar issue with partition warnings however the /etc/vmware directory does not exist. /etc/vmware-tools is created by the open-vm-tools package however there is no tools.conf file located in that directory. |
|
You can create tools.conf and vmtoolsd will pick it after a while automatically. |
|
This 16-NIC limit is a problem for me as well using docker on ubuntu with esxi 6. |
|
The 16 NIC problem is causing me problems because I have many more than 16 containers on a VM. This means that vSPhere is unable to capture all the available IP addresses, and results in the 'docker-machine' tools being unable to locate the machine. Any suggestions on how to fix this? |
|
You can recompile with a higher limit set, but this doesn't necessarily address the cause of the arbitrary setting - likely there ought to be some code to determine whether the nics are virtual or not and only apply a limit to the physical. This is the patch I created (on tools 10.0.5): |
|
Increasing limits will not really work because limits are built into other parts of vSphere too. So, correct fix would be to skip docker interfaces somehow, either based on their names or some other attribute that can identify these interfaces. |
|
@ravindravmw that issue is not only a docker one - even not fully supported, we've patched the max nic number in debian since a long time, at its reported to work at least well-ish enough for our users. And that was long before docker became popular :) |
|
Filtering out the Docker interfaces (by name or some attribute) seems desirable. Skip veth-interfaces if a dockerN-interface is present is a way. |
|
Having the same problem here even with the max nic patch. Would it be a solution to be able to configure what interfaces to skip in the |

Hi, to fix this issue, we have modified open-vm-tools to only report interfaces with at least 1 IP. For the code using libdumbnet, it gives something like : --- a/open-vm-tools/lib/nicInfo/nicInfoPosix.c

}Is it something acceptable or does someone see corner cases where open-vm-tools shouldn't do this ? If it's OK, I can work on a cleaner PR (with and without libdumbnet). |
@cvauvarin Yes, that's also a solution we are planning to add.
@cbonte thanks for sharing your patch. I'm not sure if your assumption to have at least one IP would hold true always? I'm still inclined towards skipping docker interfaces completely because these could be so many and potentially with valid IPs. |
|
Besides from the log spamming, what are the implications to functionality or stability from this issue? I've been having problems with some of our RH6 VMs running as docker hosts, where we lose SSH connectivity but there is obviously some intermittent connectivity remaining to other servers based the behaviour of the consul cluster. |
|
@264nm It is not recommended to run Docker on RHEL 6. In fact I've had nothing but problems with it. The kernel is too old and doesn't support much of the basic functionality of Docker. You'd be better off moving them to the latest RHEL 7 systems. |
|
@hanej We do run a lot of our stuff on RH7, but sometimes in the awesome world of enterprise hands are tied and you don't get the choice besides making things work with the cards that are dealt.. this is one of those scenarios. |
|
Is there any estimation, when the fix will take place? |
|
ad4f5db in the 10.2.x branch seems to solve the issue |
|
Yes, commit ad4f5db (in the devel branch) resolves this. |
|
Thanks @oliverkurth, could we have an estimation on when a version including this fix is going to be released? |
|
come on - two years later and still no fix? |
|
It has been fixed a while ago. open-vm-tools 10.2.0 onwards have the fix. We are at version 10.3.5. |
|
Yay! Thanks. If only redhat get their finger out now... |
|
What version of RHEL are you using? |
|
@ravindravmw 7.5 / 7.6 (Maipo) |
|
RHEL 7.6 ships with open-vm-tools 10.2.5. So, you should be good with that. Are you still seeing any issues with RHEL 7.6? |
|
Yes I get the dreaded: RHEL offers open-vm-tools-10.2.5-3.el7.x86_64 as latest version. |
|
@davidkarlsen Hmm... you seem to have a different issue than Docker one. Looks like you have got more than 16 NICs configured in the VM? Mind sharing "ifconfig -a" output from the guest? |
|
Yeah - I got a bunch of them, calico "interfaces" for overlay networking in Kubernetes: |
|
You need to configure open-vm-tools to ignore these interfaces. By default interfaces matching |
|
This file does not seem to be present in the package: |
|
OK - just added the file - it seems to be read! I'll do some testing now to se if a problem goes away - thanks a lot for your effort! |
|
/etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf file does not exist by default and you have to create it first time. |
@bzed we got a customer issue because of this. When a guest has more than 16 NICs, due to your patch of increased limit, a payload is sent to the ESXi host that is bigger than expected (host expects max 16 NICs) and gets rejected as corrupt payload. Could you please remove this patch from Debian & Ubuntu to restore NICINFO_MAX_NICS to what we ship with? |
|
FWIW, changing this limit will require a new version of NicInfo structure and handling of the new version by open-vm-tools (producer) as well as the hypervisor (consumer). |
@ravindravmw done for Debian. |
|
Is there a plan on proper fixing this issue also for non docker use case? |
|
Thanks @bzed for the quick turnaround. @FabioPedretti it will be fixed, but unfortunately, it will require a newer version of ESXi along with fixed open-vm-tools to get the complete fix. In the meantime, as a workaround we would suggest excluding the interfaces you don't care about following https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/81054. |
|
Thanks a lot @bzed for the ping - synced 2:11.2.5-2 to Ubuntu (we are in Feature Freeze, but this is a bug fix and thereby ok) |

Upstream commit 4ee0bd3c8ead89541ab7d196fb54e940e397420d
When a LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controller sits in PCI bus 0
(SCSI controller 0), the Linux disk device enumeration does not provide
a "label" file with the controller name. This results in messages like
"GuestInfoGetDiskDevice: Missing disk device name; VMDK mapping
unavailable for "/var/log", fsName: "/dev/sda2" repeatedly appearing
in the vmsvc logging. The patch converts what previously was a warning
message to a debug message and thus avoids the log spew.

* [b2977cd] Rectify a log spew in vmsvc logging.
Upstream commit 4ee0bd3c8ead89541ab7d196fb54e940e397420d
When a LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controller sits in PCI bus 0
(SCSI controller 0), the Linux disk device enumeration does not provide
a "label" file with the controller name. This results in messages like
"GuestInfoGetDiskDevice: Missing disk device name; VMDK mapping
unavailable for "/var/log", fsName: "/dev/sda2" repeatedly appearing
in the vmsvc logging. The patch converts what previously was a warning
message to a debug message and thus avoids the log spew.

* [d79cc9d] d/control: fix postinst missing lsmod/modprobe.
Upgrades on open-vm-desktop can trigger errors like the following:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: 5:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: lsmod: not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: 6:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: modprobe: not found
The reason is that kmod isn't a dependency of open-vm-tools-desktop and
could be missing e.g. if you installed it in a system container.
Once might discuss how useful open-vm-tools-desktop is in that
environment but a n issue to fix none the less.

* [4d3f25f] Fix guest OS reporting for Debian/Buster.
Without this fix, open-vm-tools report other4xLinux64Guest instead of
Debian/Buster.
Reason is the output of lsb_release, which outputs:
$ lsb_release -sd
Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
But the code in open-vm-tools expects '10.'.

The arbitrary selection of 16 maximum nics when using upwards of 100 docker containers on a host is a problem - this message repeats ad nauseum filling log files, and it's a fairly pointless message.
Why 16 nics max?
