vim.fault.InvalidLogin while querying kernel modules

[hanish]

I'm using VI API to query kernel modules of all the hosts (using "queryModules" method). But for some hosts it throws "javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: vim.fault.InvalidLogin" . Why authentication error happens only for few hosts?

Hi,

This not an AD integrated environment. Direct authentication with vCenter.

it can be linked to snapshots

i got the same error on Esxi 5.5 when i try to execute

vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.create {VM}.vmx "{TITLE}" "{DETAIL}" 0

when i allready got a snapshot

if i remove the snaphot before launching the command, the error is gone

vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.removeall {VM}.vmx

vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.create {VM}.vmx "{TITLE}" "{DETAIL}" 0
