Failed to get vmlist using vsphere-automation-sdk-python 8.0

dbiswas91 — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 02:20:33 GMT

I am using vsphere-automation-sdk-python 8.0 in centos 7

with python version 3.7

Question 1:

Does this python SDK work on vspehere or vcenter or ESXI?

As I have provided the ESXI ip to the below script to list down the vms facing issue.

[root@v ~]# pip list

Tried to list vm using SDK sample code, which is not working.

# cat tt.py import requests import urllib3 from vmware.vapi.vsphere.client import create_vsphere_client session = requests.session() print(session) # Disable cert verification for demo purpose. # This is not recommended in a production environment. session.verify = False # Disable the secure connection warning for demo purpose. # This is not recommended in a production environment. urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning) # Connect to a vCenter Server using username and password vsphere_client = create_vsphere_client(server='<ESXi server ip>', username='xxxx', password='xxxxx', session=session) # List all VMs inside the vCenter Server vsphere_client.vcenter.VM.list()

Anyone one has any suggestion to resolve above issue.

Above problem was seen due to incompatible ESXI server which is 6.5 version, but python SDK support only 7.0+.
