I have encountered a fault when installing the guest tools on Linux. The guest agent fails on start and atempts to start it exhibit the same. Linux is Centos 6.8 and AHV Nutanix 4.6.2

Can you please file a support ticket so we can link up with you and debug?
Thanks,

Thanks,

All our support seems to be routed through Dell. How would I log a case direct to Nutanix?
File a case with Dell and ask them to escalate it to Nutanix, and they can get us involved.
I have requested Dell to pass the case that was opened earlier today to yourselves
For what it's worth I have seen the same issue with a base (minimal ISO) CentOS 6.8 install. With the same base (minimal ISO) CentOS 7 install the tools install and start as expected. CentOS 7 version: 7.3.1611 (Core)
