Better VMware Hardware for OME Appliance
Please update the next version of the OME Vmware appliance to:
- pvscsi
- vmxnet3
- auto-detect video
And generally, regardless of platform:
- 4.x Linux kernel (if not already. I wouldn't know, but it looks like CentOS 7.5, but unsure, and it doesn't support SNMP or SSH. If it does, where can I find documentation?)

I mounted the KVM hard drive image files and then used chroot to change to the root of that drive. The following commands will allow you to "peek" inside the image, useful for log gathering or whatever else you may need:

Of course you get full access to such an appliance's OS if you really want to.
They lock it down since they probably don't want any script kiddies messing around with it and then call support "it's not working" (and now it's totally unfixable). So for anyone asking "how did you do this" I'd prefer you keep it for yourself (too late already). If someone doesn't know how to do it they probably shouldn't be messing with it in the first place.
Maybe there's also a slight chance of internals being in there they don't want anyone to see. But that would be really stupid.
As for the original topic (including vm tools etc.): +1
