[Bug 1893898] Re: open-vm-tools status is toolsNotInstalled after deploy cloud image groovy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova

[Robert C Jennings]

Okay, the vmdk lacks the version in bionic, focal, and groovy.  The
ddb.comment field that toolsVersion uses is missing:

# Disk Descriptor File
# Created by VMDKstream
version=1
CID=7e5b80a7
parentCID=ffffffff
createType="streamOptimized"

# Extent description
RDONLY 20971520 SPARSE "call-me-stream.vmdk"

#DDB

ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"
# 20971520 / 63 / 255 rounded up
ddb.geometry.cylinders = "1306"
ddb.geometry.heads = "255"
ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"
ddb.longContentID = "8f15b3d0009d9a3f456ff7b28d324d2a"
ddb.virtualHWVersion = "7"^@^@^@^
