Running the command by using VI SDK API esxupdate

Hi all

I need to install a package on an ESX Server. Right now I use the command esxupdate with update on the esx console option, I want to do this remotely without SSHing into the machine. Is there some api in VI SDK for this or there is another VMware SDK/API I should be looking into?

Thank you.

vCLI uses the vSphere SDK for Perl... it's the Perl bindings/stubs to the vSphere API and/or VI API

vSphere 4.x =

VI = 3.x

So yes, there are some methods that handle the updates/etc, look at the source code of vihostupdate which is just the Perl script and you'll see what methods are used.

    Hi Marc,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems that you are facing problems in removing the story from the beginning, run the command. I'll be happy to help you in this problem.

    -What operating system is installed on your computer?

    Windows saves a history of the names of files, programs, and locations that you type in the Run dialog box. You can delete this history, which you can do if you use a public or shared computer.

    I suggest you follow the steps in the link to clear the history run in the start menu and check if it helps.

  • Run the command in the comments: dnscmd

    I use the command run in comments to run commands on a host windows below. The account that runs the command has permissions to run these commands.

    cmd.exe /c dnscmd xx.xx.xx.xx hostName1 some.dns.host /recorddelete has xx.xx.xx.xx/f

    cmd.exe /c dnscmd xx.xx.xx.xx /recorddelete some.dns.host hostname1 PTR/f

    (real info IP and host names are hidden to protect the innocent)

    Both run successfully (and should be) run interactively from a CMD prompt, I get the expected result and indicates a nslookup on the hostname '... cannot find < hostname >: field Non-existend' as expected. (img1 attached)

    If run via the command run in the comments, the first command runs (to delete the a record, however, while the second command seems to work, the PTR record is not deleted and nslookup on the hostname returns ' name: < hostname > '(attached img2))

    Thoughts?


    Here is an excerpt of the object 'command' treatment of an article on my blog: How to run a PERL Script from a vCenter Orchestrator Workflow

    
    // Prepare Command line and parameters to execute:
    
    cmd = scriptName + " " + scriptParams;
    
    System.debug("executing cmd: " + cmd);
    
    // Create and execute the command:
    
    var command = new Command(cmd);

    As you can see from the code above, you'll want to look at the results and the exit of the execution of the object of your cmd. I hope that this release will contain some clues as to why your second command fails...

  • Run the command of MaxL througth ODI and encrypt the password

    Hello

    I'm looking for a solution not using password plain text for my order Maxl in ODI.

    Someone knows how can I do?

    So far, I found nothing.

    Thank you

    Alain

    Hello

    Here is an example to encrypt the connection information in a scipt maxl.

    Something like this first run the command prompt
    essmsh - gk > c:\temp\encryptKeys.txt

    This will create a text file with the key public and private for example
    for example
    Public key for encryption: 5407,1453704157
    The private key for decryption: 406488703,1453704157

    Now that you have a maxl file called login.mxl as

    login password admin on localhost.
    disconnection;

    You can encrypt by calling
    essmsh EI c:\temp\login.mxl PUBLIC KEY

    So for this example, it would be
    essmsh EI c:\temp\login.mxl 5407,1453704157

    This will create a file called login.mxls with encrypted for example connection details

    Login $key 6343689380045143584028576355606972733930 1468602100275634090163724540502857635560 localhost $key;
    disconnection;

    Now, to run the file, you must use the command
    essmsh d c:\temp\login.mxls PRIVATE KEY

    Thus, in this example
    essmsh d c:\temp\login.mxls 406488703,1453704157

  • Is it possible to run the command script with user account administrator rights?

    Is it possible to run the command script with administrator user account rights means please tell me how to...

    I need to run it in windows 7 professional service pack 1.

    There are a few myths that won't go away, for example

    • You can perform administrative tasks when you are working from a command prompt.
    • A script (batch file, VBScript, PowerShell) gives you administrative rights.

    There is no substance to a myth. Your account has administrator privileges, or it does not. There is no backdoor.
