I am using strawberry perl version 5.20.1
My ESXi server version is 5.0.0
My vCenter server version is 5.1.0
When executing a perl script I am getting errors as below.
PS C:\> perl .\master_deploy.pl
SOAP request error - possibly a protocol issue: Can't connect to <server_ip>:443
Invalid argument at C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 49.
PS C:\> perl .\master_deploy.pl
vimServiceVersions.xml version unavailable at 'https://<servr_ip>:443/sdk/vimServiceVersions.xml'
PS C:\> perl .\master_deploy.pl
Server version unavailable at 'https://<server_ip>:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/VMware/VIC
ommon.pm line 545.
What is surprising is that, I am getting these errors not all at a time or not single error is displayed all the time but when I keep executing the script after ignoring errors, I am getting different error every time.
Sometimes even the script execution gets started but it halts midway due to 'vimServiceVersions.xml version unavailable at 'https://<servr_ip>:443/sdk/vimServiceVersions.xml' ' error.
I have already added $ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0 at the beginning of the script.
Any help is highly appreciated.
