• vSphere SDK for Perl source package - linux

  I'm looking to install vSphere SDK for Perl from source on my linux 64-bit system. The download, I work with is at http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/vcli_perl4_64_os_s/ZHcqYmR0KnBidGR3. Is this correct? This package contains is .so and .pm, and I'm not sure what to do with them. The docs for vSphere SDK for Perl installation insinuate that there should be a Makefile.PL or somesuch. What I am doing wrong?

  That link you provided is just the OSS components mobilized by the VI Perl SDK and the vCLI.  It is not a complete installation or the other.

  You'll want to use the download link on the home page of this forum for Linux Perl SDK Setup.

  Keep in mind, when you say install source, the VMware Perl SDK is just not compiled perl modules.  The rest of the Perl SDK package's dependencies (LibXML, Crypt::SSLeay, Class::MethodMaker, etc.).

  You will find the Makefile.PL and some scripts installer in the bits of the package.

  I used it a bit in the past, but I remembered, there were a few posts on some questions about it, but I don't remember the hand what they were.

  You run in any specific questions?

  I think you meant as hostevacuate.pl and not "evacuate.pl"?

  We are running VI Perl Toolkit 1.6 on SLES 10 SP1 64-bit.  When I run a test query using 1.6 I get the expected result.  When I uninstall 1.6 and install vSphere SDK for Perl and run the same query, I get this response:

  I have installed a perl prerequisite modules and RPM.  Any ideas?

  Looks like it is a shared library for 32 bit, not 64 (despite the name).

  I would try reinstalling LibXML with CPAN.

• How to add in DVS ESX hosts with vsphere SDK for perl?

  Hello

  I am a newbie to vsphere SDK for perl. Just started using it for automation of one month back. , I was looking for options to automate the addition of ESXi servers and their physical cards in the distributed virtual switch. I got some details on how to add using powerCLI. However, my requirements are in the use of vsphere SDK for perl. Any help would be appreciated.

  The power of CLI is lucD notes. http://www.lucd.info/2009/10/09/dvswitch-scripting-part-1-creation/
  Have we not like subroutines or plug editable in vsphere SDK for perl inorder to add host ESX in DVS. ?
  Thank you and best regards,
  Lebou

  You can certainly do it in Perl.  I don't have a working example, but perhaps that William will be when he catches this thread

  If I have time tomorrow, I'll try to put something together to help you get started, but you can also simply map the logic of LucD script.

  Basically Get - view is equivalent to Vim: get_view() and New-Object calls should be mapped to the type of object in Perl, for example, instead of VMware.Vim.DVSConfigSpec New-Object, we $spec = DVSConfigSpec-> (again).

• vSphere SDK for Perl source code available?

  Hi all

  I'm looking for "vSphere SDK for Perl source package" which should contain the source code for the vSphere SDK for Perl as indicated in the documentation.

  Could if it you please let me know where I can find it?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Best regards

  Christophe

  vSphere SDK for Perl bindings are located inside the installer, just download it from here http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/ and extract the contents and you will see. MP files that are client-side stubs.

  Is there a specific use case that you try to resolve request to get the source code? Here is one several links that VMware offers that is automatically generated from the vSphere API WSDL audience

• Compatibility: VIPerl 1.6 & vSphere SDK for Perl v4: traps/questions?

  Hello

  Are there problems with ALWAYS using VIPerl v1.6 with ESX/ESXi v4?  So far, it seems that the API has not really changed, but I wanted to know if there were any issues/pitfalls with this approach.

  Apart from the introduction of the 'store of credentials', it does not seem useful to upgrade to the new API, unless he had fixed important bug / issues resolved... After reviewing the Release Notes, I don't see really any noticeable change.

  Finally, VMware has never encrypt the contents of the password in the "identification information store?  Which means that, when a perl script runs, the SDK prompts the user to "unlock" the store of credentials, which allows the script to login to the end of the script?  This is similar to how Apache2 access protected private keys associated with SSL certificates.

  Thank you

  -Darien

  VIPT 1.6 is designed to be compatible with version 4.0 of the API. There may be problems due to changes with the API itself, but for the most part, just VIPT uses the API as it exists.

• What is the difference between "vShpere SDK ro Perl"and "vSphere Web Services SDK (for Java or c#)"?

  Hello world! I'm new to "VMware vSphere API", and I have a question to ask you to help:

  What is the difference between "vShpere SDK ro Perl"and "vSphere Web Services SDK (for Java or c#)"?

  -What are the different programming language? Is there another difference?

  I'm looking forward to your reply.

  Thank you!

  If you are new on the VMware API/SDK, highly recommend you take a look at the following: Getting Started with vSphere SDK - Update for SDK 4.1 release

  vSphere SDK for Perl is just one of the many client SDK for vSphere API that is flush with vcenter times and ESX (i) as a standard Web service.

  vSphere SDK for Java - SDK Java to vSphere API for Java developers

  vSphere SDK for Perl - Perl SDK for vSphere API for Perl developers

  vSphere SDK for c# - c# SDK for vSphere API for c# developers

  PowerCLI - PowerShell SDK for vSphere API for developers of Powershell

  I hope that makes a bit more sense

• vSphere sdk api to get the total memory available for booking of virtual machine

  What vsphere sdk api should I use to get the total memory available to make reservations for virtual machines?

  Here's what I see in the VI client,

  Click on hos-> Configuration:

  Memory

  Physics

  Total xx

  System xx

  VMS 3512,0 MB

  Service xx console

  Now, when I click on the resource allocation tab I see

  3348 MB memory reservation

  Memorey reservation used: 0 MB

  Unreserved memory: 3348 MB

  The question is what value is correct and which are programming API to get all these values (even if it is wrong)?

  If you are familiar with the vSphere API, the easiest way is to browse through the documentation of API reference: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/index.html and/or using the CROWD (object browser), once you explore a bit, you will begin to understand where some properties of what you see on the vSphere Client

  For the configuration of host memory, take a look at: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.MemoryManagerSystem.ServiceConsoleReservationInfo.html

  To the memory of VM host accessible to the general public, take a look at: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.ResourceAllocationInfo.html

  To get information "Resource allocation", you must get a reference to the list of local resources for your host: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.ResourcePool.ResourceUsage.html#reservationUsedForVm

  Even if you do not have a "Resource Pool", there is a defect which still exists. This should get your started

  If you use the VI of Java, you can take a look at the VI Java Browser: http://www.doublecloud.org/2010/02/22/vijava-browser-a-great-tool-to-recommend/

  You must also follow Steve Jin blog (author/creator of connections of vSphere Java open source VI)

• Support for Perl SDK for ESXi vmclone.pl without vCenter

  I try to use version 5.5 of SDK Perl vmclone.pl.  I have an ESXi with VM Server I want to clone remote.  However, when I try to invoke the perl scipt, I get an error "Operation is not supported by the current agent.

  I was led to believe that the Perl SDK works on ESXi without vCenter Server.  Is this correct?  My mistake for another reason?

  vSphere SDK for Perl can run on ESXi and vCenter, this is just an interface with the API. However, in the case of cloning that is a feature, it is only exposed when vCenter Server is in the picture. You cannot issue a clone operation directly on an ESXi host and this is why the fault was lifted.

• Perl SDK for VM API storage policy

Anoyone know what Perl SDK plan in this area is?

  Thanks in advance for any thoughts,

• BlackBerry SDK for Windows 64-bit

  Good day everyone,

  Please any action kindly with a link to Blackberry SDK for Windows 64-bit. I tried a lot of things, but received no satisfactory answer. Please share with me the URL link.

  Thanks in advance.

  As far as I KNOW 64 but Java is not supported.  You will need to download the 32-bit version of Java.  If you really need the 64-bit for the treatment of the other then I think you can configure Eclipse to use a 32-bit version installed separately, but I suspect that will be easier remove the java 64-bit and 32-bit just run.

• Problems installing vSphere SDK

  Hello, I have a really hard time getting the SDK VMSphere to work under Windows and I have no installation using the supplied VMware-VIPERL - 4.0.0 - 161974.exe error from the VMWARE page, but when I try to run any script I have a popup that refers to an XML. Messages error DLL-file and returns as below:

  BEGIN failed--compilation abandoned to C:/Program Files/VMware/VMware vSphere CLI.

  Perl/site/lib/XML/LibXML.pm line 116.

  Looks like it missing something and I tried this on multiple Windows computers and I also had a go at installing source code on page 18 (http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/vsperl_40_install.pdf), for starters, I can't locate Perl modules required for of ActivePerl Perl Package Manager and also I found mentioned vSphere SDK package source Perl to the download page , but only on the integrated Setup.

  Clearly I am doing something wrong here, but I don't know which is quite frustrating, so any help is appreciated!

  It seems that your version of LibXML is not synchronized with your Perl installation.

  Have you installed other perl distributions?  Did you install all other LibXML modules?  Sounds like its not picking up LibXML module that you want to use.

  I would uninstall all perl installations.  Make sure that C:\Perl is thus removed.  And then redo the installation as I wrote it upward.

  In my installation (on Windows Server 2003), I use ActivePerl v5.10.0 and XML-LibXML 1.66 (from PPM).

  Also, is this 64 bit?  And it's x 86 I guess?

• psxrun error when installing utilities and SDK for UNIX Applications

  Platform: Windows 2008 R2 (VM) 64-bit

  I've added the feature "Subsystem for UNIX - based Applications" and then in the installation process "utilities and SDK for UNIX - based Applications Setup Wizard." However, I'm getting Psxrun error with the message "Unable to connect to Subsystem for UNIX - based Applications."

  I checked the event log and noticed that the event ID is 2008, so I googled and found the following link:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd348833 (v = ws.10) .aspx

  But the solution is application using the POSIX after installation, not during the installation. If someone had the same problem and knows the solution to this, please help.
