"Failed to open device "/dev/vmci": No such file or directory Please make sure that the kernel module 'vmci' is loaded."
OR
"Failed to open device "/dev/vmmon": No such file or directory Please make sure that the kernel module 'vmci' is loaded."
I googled a lot, and there was not a good answer at all, after many hours and forums, I realized that the answer was as simple as:
sudo modprobe vmmon
I'll see how to fix this issue, giving a real solution to it.
sudo modprobe vmci
I hope this be helpful to anyone who cares.
By the way, I couldn't make work my version 9, due to a mismatch in vmmon versions 2.67 and 2.71, which many forums say to fix with a simply reboot of host machine.
"Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 271.0, got 267.0."
