BIG-IP VE Version 16.0.1 - VMware Workstation power-on script

Hi all,

 

is anybody facing the same issue with BIG-IP VE version 16.0.1.1 in VMware Workstation?

 

 

Can be observed with VMware Workstation Pro 16 (16.1.2) and Pro 15 (15.5.7).

I could not find a known bug in the release notes of 16.0.1.1. Any hint how to get rid of this?

 

Thanks in advance & KR

Daniel

    I'm not sure why that's happening, but can confirm the behavior as well. You can get rid of the warning by changing these lines from true to false in the vm config file.

     

    toolscripts.afterpoweron = "true"

    toolscripts.afterresume = "true"

    toolscripts.beforepoweroff = "true"

    toolscripts.beforesuspend = "true"

     

    In fusion (not workstation) you can get to the config file directly by right-clicking on the VM while holding down the option key and selecting Open Configure file in Editor in the menu. In workstation I think it's control instead of option. Should work the same.
