The extant API assumed a standard switch network for all cases of ESX(i), was not usable when the hypervisor was added to a distributed portgroup on a virtual switch. The VM's would create a new standard switch with the same name as the dv portgroup. Bug #796834: ESX(i) : Incorrect machine id parameters in vmx for guest_tool.py -The machine.id string was missing required information for the guest_tool.py script to set networking in the guest VMs. -Additionally the script crashed on Python > 2.4 due to the implicit gettext translator(_()) used. -Added support for Ubuntu guest operating systems.
