vmware-gos-Yuhua (yhzou) and cloud users:

The latest Xenial daily build has the required changes, serial 20210127

http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/20210127/

The vmdk and ova were both validated in the following way:

1) downloaded vmdka and ova from http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/20210127/
2) launch virtualbox
3) select Add and choose the vmdk
4) give unique name (xenial-jchittum-test) and ensure linux ubuntu is chosen for OS info.
5) Go to settings, and set a serial port (file) and added a working cloud_init (sets ubuntu password and imports my launchpad id)
6) boot image
7) check `cloud-init status`, `systemctl is-system-running`, `uname -a` to ensure the services are up, running, complete, and correct kernel is up
8) quit and terminate VM
9) Import .ova
10) repeat steps 4-8

Images were found to generally be working and the required change was
found in our build logs

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.
