             Summary: integration.smoke.test_nic.TestNic.test_01_nic fails on VMware when vmware tools are not installed on VM
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-7800
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7800
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Test
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Automation
    Affects Versions: 4.5.0
            Reporter: Gaurav Aradhye
            Assignee: Gaurav Aradhye
             Fix For: 4.5.0


Starting vCenter 5.5 it has been made strict that hot unplug requires vmware tools installed on the guest os.

Our code base currently does not have a check for vmware tools installed on the guest os, so we can go ahead and do hot plug/unplug. But VMware will report error if the vmtools are not installed.

The tests that are trying hot plug and unplug of nic on vms running on vmware, must check for vmware tools running on the vm.
if the vm does not have tools => assert true for the exception (assert for exception is better option).
if vm has vm tools running => Then only try for plug/unplug of nic.
