Hi,
I tried to use vmrun on Linux (Ubuntu 😎 with VMWare Server 2.0 installed (and vmrun 2.0.1 included).
I can browse my server with Web GUI (locally or remotely) with no problem, but when I tried to control it via command line locally (from that Linux itself), I keep getting this error message:
Error: The specified service provider was not found
As I also have installed VMWare Server 2.0 on Windows (and vmrun 2.0.0, under VIX directory), I tried to control remotely to that first Linux machine and it works perfectly (needless to say that I can also control my local VMWare Server on my Windows box itself). The documentation and forum I read so far suggest that the vmrun is probably too old, to support -T server (but while my Windows can successfully do it with vmrun 2.0.0, and my Linux has 2.0.1, I'm a bit puzzled in that remark - but if it's the case, where can we download newer vmrun that support "-T server" for Linux?).
I'm pretty sure, it's not the security problem or wrong syntax (I even tried it as root), as I executed identical command on both machine. But if you're interested to know, the command I tried is:
vmrun -T server -h https://10.128.41.27:8333/sdk -u (username) -p (password) list
(also have tried to use localhost, its machine name, or 127.0.0.1 on my local Linux with no difference)
Note:
I actually found a workaround to make it works using vmware-vim-cmd, but I found it much more tedious in syntax than vmrun. So, would prefer if I can make vmrun works.
Thanks for helping.
