Issues customizing a RHEL7 VM deployed from a template on VMware
Solution 1:
With the help of our VMware admin, we were able to figure out that the customization script required perl. This isn't installed with RHEL7's @core package group.
To summarize, you need the following RHEL7 packages to have customization work:
open-vm-toolsopen-vm-tools-deploypkgnet-toolsperl
Hope this helps others.
