hi all
I'm running into an issue uploading a local vmdk file to an esx server using the url given by the importvapp call.
using the code below I try to do this but I get an immediate
500 write failed:
error
if I change the url address from
$thisURL = https://esxreal/nfc/8f088c50-6b02-4a3d-8997-5e11bea82538/disk-0.vmdk
to
$thisURL = 'https://esxreal/folder/testNamexxa/testNamexxa-flat.vmdk?dcPath=ha-datacenter&dsName=datastore1' ;
I am able to move the .vmdk file to the esxi host but the vmdk is different compared to a vmdk imported using the infrastructure client
I'm not clear as to why I can not move this file to the nfc server
this is the url given back to me to use
$thisURL = https://esxreal/nfc/8f088c50-6b02-4a3d-8997-5e11bea82538/disk-0.vmdk
my $service = Vim::get_vim_service( );
my $user_agent = $service -> -> ;
my $totalREad = 0;
my $lengthis = -s $theFile;
open( CONTENT , '< :raw' , $theFile );
sub content_source {
my $buffer;
my $num_read = read( CONTENT , $buffer , 102400 );
$totalREad += $num_read;
my $percentIs = int( ( $totalREad / $lengthis ) * 100 );
$holdView -> HttpNfcLeaseProgress( percent => $percentIs );
if ( $num_read == 0 ) {
return "";
} else {
print " how many read $totalREad $lengthis\n";
return $buffer;
}
}
my $request = HTTP::Request -> new( 'PUT' , $thisURL );
$request -> content( \&content_source );
$request -> header( 'Content-Type' , 'application/octet-stream' );
$request -> header( 'Content-Length' , -s $theFile );
my $response = $user_agent -> request( $request );
close( CONTENT );
if ( $response -> is_success ) {
print $response -> content;
}else {
print $response -> status_line , "\n";
}
thanks in advance
