[FreeBSD]power_operation_scripts failed on FreeBSD 13.x and 14.x with OVT installed from source #646

Problem: power_operation_scripts failed on FreeBSD 13.x and 14.x with OVT installed from source

Resolution:

  1. FreeBSD VM has OVT packages installed, and then it will uninstall original OVT packages and install with OVT from source. In such scenario, our case will firstly download the original vmtools service file before uninstalling the OVT packages, and then reuse them after OVT source install. Then the original vmtools file should be updated with /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf before using it. You may update it at https://github.com/vmware/ansible-vsphere-gos-validation/blob/main/linux/open_vm_tools/add_enable_service.yml#L63

  2. FreeBSD VM doesn't have OVT packages installed, and then it will install OVT from source. In such scenario, our case will create the vmtools service file from a template https://github.com/vmware/ansible-vsphere-gos-validation/blob/main/linux/open_vm_tools/templates/vmware-guestd.tmpl#L31. In such case, you can directly update this template file with /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf
