hello,

i have installed vSphere ESX 4 and vCenter 4. On the ESX, I installed the vim Perl vdk Toolkit.
/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general ....
perl connect.pl --url https://server_name/sdk/vimService --username xxxxx --password xxxxxxx

I get this error:
Error: Server version unavailable at 'https://server_name:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl'

Have anywhere an idea?
best regards
Andi

You're specifying the incorrect URL address for the --url parameter.

The url should look like the following: https://<your_server>/sdk

e.g.

[vi-admin@scofield ~]$ /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general/connect.pl --url https://himalaya.primp-industries.com/sdk --username root
Enter password:

Connection Successful

What OS are you executing the vCLI off of? This should be running on one of the supported OSes (Windows/Linux) or you can use VMware vMA which is a RHEL virtual appliance.
