Resolved Issues

  • After VMware Tools is upgraded from 10.1.5 version to 11.1.0 version, getting BSOD with '0x139_3_CORRUPT_LIST_ENTRY_vsepflt' for some VMs.

    When vspepflt driver is installed in an NSX environment, guest VMs crash just after reboot. Guest VMs get BSOD error just after driver loads while it connects to AV solution.

    This issue is fixed in this release.

  • In open-vm-tools (Linux only), a memory leak occurs in disk device mapping information for IDE, SATA or SAS (LSI Logic SAS) disks configured in the guest.

    Due to this issue, the memory usage of vmtoolsd system service gradually increases, which may impact system performance. This problem does not occur when mapping SCSI or NVMe devices.

    This issue is fixed in this release.

Known Issues

The known issues are grouped as follows.

VMware Tools Issues
  • After upgrading to a new version VMware Tools with installer parameter to remove the NetworkIntrospection feature, old version of vnetflt or vnetWFP driver service still runs.

    After the upgrade, the NetworkIntrospection feature is not present in the system's VMware Tools MSI database, but the feature's vnetflt or vnetWFP driver service still exists.

    Workaround:

    Refer to KB 78016.

    Note: Future tools upgrade from version 11.1.0 to a newer tools version will not have the issue.

  • VMware Tools upgrade fails on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 without SHA-2 code signing support.

    Microsoft has changed Windows driver signing to use SHA-2 algorithm exclusively starting December 3, 2019. Hence, legacy Windows systems without SHA-2 code signing support fails driver signature verification.

    Workaround:

    Refer to KB 78708.

  • AppDefense driver glxgi logs an error in the event viewer.

    AppDefense driver glxgi logs an error in the event viewer similar to the following:

    'The glxgi service failed to start due to the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.'

    The events are observed when Guest Integrity is disabled.

    Workaround:

    These events do not impact the system and are safe to ignore.

  • Installing or upgrading versions earlier than VMware Tools 10.3.0 to VMware Tools 11.1.x might take longer and Windows OS might need a restart.

    Installation process might appear to be in progress and displays a message similar to the following:
    'Preparing 'VMware Tools' for installation...'

    During this process, the user might be prompted to restart the operating system.

    For more information, see KB 55798.
