Try to build rhel stemcell, failed at step:  No installation strategy for open-vm-tools, exiting.

How to fix that?

The first idea that I have is to add `yum install open-vm-tools` instead of this line. 

Possibly you'll need some additional steps from this article.

Best wishes,
Alex L.

yum install open-vm-tools does not work, as "There are no enabled repos“　while building the stemcell..

`There are no enabled repos` error is a yum specific error. You can use `subscribe-manager` tool to solve it, also you can try the way described in this article. 

Unfortunately I currently doesn't have environment with red hat to play with it and to provide you with precise solution.

As far as I can see, some work have been done to be able to run stemcell generator with rhel [1]. Here you can see using subscription-manager I talked about [2]. Btw what command do you use to build rhel stemcell ? Do you specify operating system correctly ?

Thx Alexander, 
The command I use is::   bundle exec rake stemcell:build_with_local_os_image[vsphere,esxi,rhel,7,go,/tmp/rhel_7_base_image.tgz]
But the code I use is from April 4 , and I notice there are some code change after that, probably that's the reason that fails.

Hi Alexander,

I used the latest code, but met the same issue.

Did you specify RHN_USERNAME and RHN_PASSWORD environment variables?

Possibly the way that is described in this article in "VMware Tools in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Guest" paragraph can help you to solve this problem. You will need to update rhel_base stage in this case.

I changed base_rhel/apply.sh, with one more line to add open-vm-tools, hope this works.
pkg_mgr -c /custom_rhel_yum.conf install subscription-manager
pkg_mgr -c /custom_rhel_yum.conf groupinstall 'Development Tools'
pkg_mgr -c /custom_rhel_yum.conf install open-vm-tools
