How can I start and/or shutdown a shared VM using vmrun or another CLI-tool on a Ubuntu 18.04.01?
It works with non-shared VMs, but not with shared VMs.
"vmrun -T ws-shared ..." worked in the past and seems to be not working anymore.
It does not support "ws-shared ..." in vmrun.
Usage: vmrun [AUTHENTICATION-FLAGS] COMMAND [PARAMETERS]
AUTHENTICATION-FLAGS
--------------------
These must appear before the command and any command parameters.
-T <hostType> (ws|fusion||player)
-vp <password for encrypted virtual machine>
-gu <userName in guest OS>
-gp <password in guest OS>
Thanks for the answer, but "vmrun -T ws-shared" would be the required host-type to control shared VMs, which seems to be dropped.
Example that worked previously:
vmrun -T ws-shared -h localhost -u <user> -p <pwd> list
Unable to connect to host. Error: The specified service provider was not found
This doesn't help:
vmrun -T ws list
Total running VMs: 0
even if two shared VMs are running.
Scripts and use-cases that worked before don't work anymore. Any solution?
