Hi,

I am using the latest release of the vix api and I am not getting anywhere from C or from perl. I tried this on both 32 and 64 bit linux hosts and it seems like Vix_JobWait hangs forever. The example in the docs that passes NULL for hostname, username and password also need to be corrected since they result in a segfault as it seems that some code tries to do strlen on these params.

below is my code, which is pretty much out of the examples. I appreciate any tips :

int main()

{

VixError err;

// Connect to specified host.

jobHandle = VixHost_Connect(VIX_API_VERSION,

VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_SERVER,

"mymachine.com", // hostName

904, // hostPort

"root", // userName

"password", // password,

0, // options

VIX_INVALID_HANDLE, // propertyListHandle

NULL, // callbackProc

NULL); // clientData

err = VixJob_Wait(jobHandle,

VIX_PROPERTY_JOB_RESULT_HANDLE,

&hostHandle,

VIX_PROPERTY_NONE);

if (VIX_OK != err) {

// Handle the error...

goto abort;

}

Vix_ReleaseHandle(jobHandle);

printf("\nLooking for running virtual machines");

jobHandle = VixHost_FindItems(hostHandle,

VIX_FIND_RUNNING_VMS,

VIX_INVALID_HANDLE, // searchCriteria

-1, // timeout

VixDiscoveryProc,

NULL);

VixJob_Wait(jobHandle, VIX_PROPERTY_NONE);

abort:

Vix_ReleaseHandle(jobHandle);

VixHost_Disconnect(hostHandle);

}
