open-vm-tools are required for anything that requires
co-ordination with the guest. Here are a few examples,
clean shutdown of guest from VM management interface,
guest consistent snapshots, collection/display of guest
resource usage information in VM management interface,
guest automation (running commands inside guest) and
other features VDR/HA as you mentioned.

I believe for P2V and V2V use cases.
