About ListProcessesInGuest error

[ITenGriTR]

Hello guys,

i am writing api for my vcenter with sdk but i have a problem about ListProcessesInGuest command

https://vdc-repo.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/bd170cdc-e03a-4701-b468-bcfba05da6b2/946a76df...

is interactiveSession == true => The guest operations agent could not be contacted.

is interactiveSession == false => The operation is not supported on the object.

request data:

	array(3) {
	["_this"]=>
	array(2) {
	["_"]=>
	string(29) "guestOperationsProcessManager"
	["type"]=>
	string(19) "GuestProcessManager"
	}
	["vm"]=>
	array(2) {
	["_"]=>
	string(6) "vm-212"
	["type"]=>
	string(14) "VirtualMachine"
	}
	["auth"]=>
	array(3) {
	["username"]=>
	string(4) "root"
	["password"]=>
	string(11) "test"
	["interactiveSession"]=>
	bool(true)
	}
	}

so i test invoke-vmscript command in powercli and its working perfectly for this vm what can i do ?

What kind of Guest OS do you have running in that VM?

And InteractiveSession should be set to $false.
Same as I do in my Invoke-VMScriptPlus function.

centos7

i set to false and response is : The operation is not supported on the object.

i check the vm data and guestOperationsReady is true and guestState is true everything looks good idk why its happening

[LucD]

This is a listed fault for that method.
Can you check the vmware.log if that gives any additional info?

[ITenGriTR]

where is the file

in esxi

in vcenter

in vm ?

[LucD]

In the folder where the VM's files are located

[ITenGriTR]

i tried but nothing changing on log file size

[LucD]

Perhaps you have to enable debugging.
See KB1007873

[ITenGriTR]

i checked 3 times logging enabled not about guest process

Strange, and you say that INvoke-VMScript works?
You could try my Invoke-VMScriptPlus with the Verbose switch, that provides more info.
And you can check if that shows up in the vmware.log

[ITenGriTR]

yes INvoke-VMScript its working

but sdk api is giving error its my code on php

                $mess= [];

                $mess["_this"] = (array)$guestOperations[4]->val; // this line correct

                $mess["vm"] = [

                    "_" => $vmid,

                    "type" => "VirtualMachine"

                ];

                $mess["auth"] = [

                    "username" => "root",

                    "password" => "test",

                    "interactiveSession" => false

                ];

                return $this->client->ListProcessesInGuest($mess);

[LucD]
