Does vsphere-automation-sdk-python require vddk

dbiswas91 — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 17:36:14 GMT

As the current vddk8.0 version does not support Perl vsphere automation sdk,

Is it require vddk to be installed on same system for vsphere-automation-sdk-python.

I am new to vmware, plz correct me if my understading wrong.

facing following error:

As your post probably sits best in the {code} section of the Communities where there are dedicated areas for SDKs, I have reported it to the volunteer moderators.

Add argument "--skipverification" at the end of the command.

--skipverification = It skips verifying server certificate when connecting to vc.

Eg:
> python3 ./samples/vsphere/vcenter/vm/list_vms.py -s x.x.x.x -u Administrator@vsphere.local -p xxxxx --skipverification

vSphere Automation SDK works only with vCenter sessions.

Because there are no public APIs for ESXi VMODL2.

Hence pass vCenter credentials in the command.

To run with ESXi credentials, use vSphere management SDKs .
i.e,

pyVmomi(SOAP based) allows you to manage VMware ESXi and vCenter using Python.
