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

[John Chittum]

Focal Daily serial 20210112 has the expected change and is available for
download:

http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/server/focal/20210112/

Bionic Daily serial 20120112 has the expected change, and is available
for download:

http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/server/bionic/20210112/

Xenial: I am qualifying livecd-rootfs now. Once livecd-rootfs is
qualified and moved to -updates, the cpc build process will take the
change.

Bug description:

  [Impact]

   * with groovy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova daily build, when only deploy OVA and don't power on VM, the VMTools status is "toolsNotInstalled"
  But in fact, we have installed open-vm-tools.

  [Test Case]

   * build vmdk image and verify that buildlog now mentions emitting
  ddb.toolsVersion = "2147483647" field for the image. See
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-
  tools/+bug/1893898/comments/12

  [Regression Potential]

   * The change affects Vagrant / VMware ova/vmdk formatted images,
  which all use modify_vmdk_header function.
