impossible to connect vcenter using perl sdk


Hi,


 


I try to reach our vcenter environnment using perl sdk but even after installed a lot of library (LWP, SSL, NET::SSL, etc) it still replies the same issue :


C:\DsiTools\perl_vmware_sdk\Perl\apps\performance>perl viperformance.pl --username XXXXX password XXXXurl https://XXXXXXXXX:7444/sdk/vimService host XXXXXXcountertype cpu

Server version unavailable at 'https://XXXXXXXX:7444/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at C:/DsiTools/perl_vmware_sdk/Perl/lib/VMware/VICommon.pm line 551.


I've checked urls, host and credentials and it's ok. I've also tried to add the following line in the perl script :


$ENV = "Net::SSL";


$ENV = 0;


 


Without success....


Could you help me ?


 


Best regards,


 


GrAaL

Are you targeting port 7444?  That's the lookup service for SSO. The SDK port is on 443.

Hi,

Thank you very much, I've almost lost my patience with this install....

I should have read the documentation...

Best regards,

Yes, it's fallen a bit behind (the install).  It's b/c the VIPerl SDK includes the CLI commands, I think.  It would be nice if they bundled the VIPerl SDK modules (which are all pure-perl source files) as a CPAN module with appropriate dependencies.  There are some challenges since its using a deprecated SSL library.  You can do just the VIPerl SDK perl module install by hand, I've done it and it's not too hard, but I still have to drop LWP down a version or two to avoid some issues.
