I've setup an ESXi server that's working fine and installed the remote cli application to my XP workstation, I also have the virtual appliance running but not tried it yet. I've been trying to connect to my ESXi server but keep getting an error. To start with I just tried a simple example as indicated in the documentation:
vicfg-mpath.pl --server 10.192.4.63 --user "root" --password "mypassword" --list
The came back with an error saying unknown option: user
Then I tried the same command using a config file, exactly the same as in the manual:
vicfg-mpath.pl --config c:\myconfig.txt --list
It then prompts me for my Username and Password which I then enter and then I get a popup Perl.exe windows saying:
perl.exe - ordinal not found: The ordinal 2821 could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll
Has anyone got any ideas? Does anyone have any simple commands I can try out, I've been trying to do just a simple vm list, but that's not working either:
vmware-cmd.pl --server 10.192.4.63 --user "root" --password "mypassword" -l
Thanks
That should be --username. For the error LIBEAY32.dll do a search in the ESXi forum. It's a conflict with any version of the dll on your system.
Thanks Dave, all fixed now. I renamed the libeay32.dll in c:\windows\system32 to libeay32.dll.old and then copied the one in the c:\program files\vmware\vmware remote cli\perl\bin into that folder.
Hey thanks, that gave me an idea to try out. I was having a
problem registering the LIBEAY32.dll. Your copy and paste idea worked for me…
take care
Dave
