Kernel panics during vmware-tools shutdown in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Issue
- Getting error: "Invalid argument" setting key "kernel.sched_rt_runtime_us" when trying to lower the value of
kernel.sched_rt_runtime_us. - A VMWare tools requested shutdown did not complete with a shutdown. Instead the kernel panicked. This caused an immediate reboot due to the "reboot on crash" settings, preventing the upgrade which was underway.
