Hello,
(I am sorry about my English) I am using VIX1.11 to start VM on ESXi5.0 host. The PowerOn() has always been failing for me with error "3008 Cannot connect to the virtual machine".However the VM still Power On. I also looked up some discussions already on this site but it just wont work for me. Could you please help me get it working?.
My code as bellow:
//connec to esxi5.0 - work well
UInt64 err;
VixCOM.VixLibClass lib = new VixCOM.VixLibClass();
job = lib.Connect(
Constants.VIX_API_VERSION,
VixCom.Constants.VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_VI_SERVER,
hostName,
hostPort,
userName,
password,
0,
null,
null
);
err = job.Wait(new int[] { VixCOM.Constants.VIX_PROPERTY_JOB_RESULT_HANDLE },
ref Results);
if (lib.ErrorIndicatesFailure(err))
{
;
}
IHost host = (VixCOM.IHost)((object[])Results)[0];
//open vm - work well
job = host.RegisterVM(vmPath, null);
err = job.WaitWithoutResults();
if (lib.ErrorIndicatesFailure(err))
{
;
}
job = host.OpenVM(vmPath, null);
err = job.Wait(new int[] { VixCOM.Constants.VIX_PROPERTY_JOB_RESULT_HANDLE },
ref Results);
if (lib.ErrorIndicatesFailure(err))
{
;
}
IVM2 vm = (VixCOM.IVM2)((object[])Results)[0];
//start vm - work with error 3008
job = vm.PowerOn(VixCOM.Constants.VIX_VMPOWEROP_LAUNCH_GUI, null, null);
err = job.WaitWithoutResults();
if (lib.ErrorIndicatesFailure(err))
{
;
}
