Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
- Guest OS Customization fails on some Linux VMs (Most are RedHat, CentOS and Ubuntu Servers with default configuration).
- If the version of VMTools is newer than 10.3.0, you see error message in the toolsDeployPkg.log:
Can't locate Time/HiRes.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Time::HiRes module)
- This issue is observed only on VMC Version 1.7, 1.7 Patch 01, and 1.7 Patch 01v2.
Cause
The customization will fail if the Linux templates/VM do not have Perl Time/HiRes.pm installed.
Resolution
Currently, there is no resolution.
Workaround:
To work around this issue, install the Time/HiRes.pm on vm.
Example:
yum install -y perl-Time-HiRes
