Hi,

I have a strange problem, I have 3 RHEL 5.4 servers that are clones of each other, I have install the SDK on all 3 of them, version:

I have installed VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-4.0.0-161974

and on 2 servers whith connect.pl it works great:

  1. /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general/connect.pl --server 1.1.1.1 --username XXX --password XX

Connection Successful
Server Time : 2009-11-04T11:53:30.449415Z

On the third server it doesn't work:

  1. /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general/connect.pl --server 1.1.1.1 --username XXX --password XX

Error: Server version unavailable at 'https://1.1.1.1/sdk/vimService.wsdl'

I am connecting to a VC with esx 3.5, on the third server I can access the url 'https://1.1.1.1/sdk/vimService.wsdl' with no problems

Any idea what can be the problem ?

Thnx

Nope, The same result:
  1. /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general/connect.pl --url https://1.7.11.16/sdk --username xxxx --password xxxx
    Error: Server version unavailable at 'https://10.7.112.166/sdk/vimService.wsdl'


"on the third server I can access the url 'https://1.1.1.1/sdk/vimService.wsdl' with no problems" by this I mean I can wget the file and download it perfectly from the third server:


  1. wget --no-check-certificate https://1.7.11.16/sdk/vimService.wsdl (11-05 08:31):)

Thnx for the help. I haven't got any proxy config on my env:

root@l01 ~# set | strings | grep proxy

root@l01 ~# echo $http_proxy

root@l01 ~# echo $HTTP_PROXY

root@srvcceabal01:~# grep proxy .* | grep -v .zhistory (11-10 17:35) :)
root@srvcceabal01:~#

l01 ~]# /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general/connect.pl --url https://10.7.1.1/sdk --username dpar-00 --password cu3rv0-.
Error: Server version unavailable at 'https://10.7.1.1/sdk/vimService.wsdl'

Where else can the proxy be defined ?

I am not firm with Redhead. On Suse you can edit /etc/sysconfig/proxy or you can do over yast.

Perhaps you have set proxy setting for yum but normaly the connect.pl script get the proxy setting form user env.

try to start connect.pl with --verbose for more debug infos

No luck,

The --verbose doesn't give a lot more:

/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general/connect.pl --verbose --url https://1.1.1.166/sdk

Error: Server version unavailable at 'https://10.7.112.166/sdk/vimService.wsdl'

Thnx for the help.

Anything else?

ok, you can try the following.

uninstall vsphere sdk 4 for Perl and install the VI Perl 1.6, thats the version before sdk 4. there is a better failure output.
