vmrun - unknown file suffix

[hurdle]

I seem to be having any issues communication directly with a VM when trying to use vmrun.

For example I can run

vmrun -T esx -h https://<hostname>:port/sdk -u <user> -p <password> list

and the running VMs comes up fine.

[datastore] VM/vm.vmx

But when I try to say restart the VM and enter

vmrun -T esx -h https://<hostname>:port/sdk -u <user> -p <password> reset "[datastore] VM/vm.vmx" soft

I receive invalid syntax.

I made sure the command exactly matches the using VMRun to control VMs guide

I also made sure I am typing the datastore path exaclty as it comes up when I do a list

I even did a copy past to take me making a typo out of equation.

Any thoughts?

hopefully you are using  latest supported VIX? Seen some issues with older/incompatible versions in the forum.

Can you post the exact error message vmrun is printing?

Also, which version of VIX are you using?

[hurdle]

That was it

I was at version 1.10.0.12331 but I upgraded to version 1.11 and it works great

Thanks
