vSphere SDK for Perl source code available?

• 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.

  @nuttervm,

  Yes, I had actually just an installation of the vCLI (which basically includes the vSphere SDK for Perl as use utilities CLI SDK, the instructions are the same) on the server Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit platform. Before delving more deeply, your system has direct access to the internet? One of the installation requirements the vCLI/vSphere SDK for Perl is that it requires the use of the proxy server to help with the dependence of the CPAN package and I can certainly understand the frustration with the new requirements of the installer because it forces the use of indirect variables both http & ftp if you have direct internet access. However, I can assure you that it installs but may require tweaks to installer.

  According to your answer, we can take two approaches:

  (1) meet manually CPAN packages as shown here - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.perlsdk.install.doc_50/viperl_install_sourcecode.4.2.html

  (2) If you have direct access to the internet, we can bypass the proxy check commenting on a few lines so that the installation program proceeds, but don't do that if you filled full the pre-reqs in accordance with the documentation - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.vcli.getstart.doc_50/cli_install.4.5.html&path=1_0_1_3_1

  Now, we just need to uncomment some lines in the vmware - install.pl not out by the installation. In my example, I used the last vCLI/vSphere SDK for Perl 5.0u1 (this should be the same relese prior to 5.0 as 5.0u1 does not update the installer for RHEL and should not be any other changes). 5551 5554 and here is an excerpt of the comment lines are lines

  #if 5551 (!) ($ftpproxy && $httpproxy)) {}
  5552 # uninstall_file ($gInstallerMainDB);
  5553 # exit 1;
  {5554 #}

  Assuming that you've been through pre-reqs from #1 or #2, you should now be able to proceed with the installation. If you have direct access to the internet, you should see the installer out t CPAN to demolish packages, if you have not, then he should confirm that you meet the requirements of #1.

  Here is the version of Ubuntu that I used:

• 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).

• Problem with vSphere™ SDK for Perl instead of VI Perl Toolkit 1.6

  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:

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

  I would try reinstalling LibXML with CPAN.

• 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.

• Esxcli source code available?

  Hi all

  I have a new in vSphere world and I downloaded and installed the "VMware vSphere CLI" for Windows.

  I see that there is an esxcli.exe and an esxcli.zip in the bin folder and in the zip file, it has compiled python files.

  So I was wondering, if the source code for esxcli is available somewhere, could you please provide me a link to it?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Best regards

  Christophe

  Without the source code for esxcli is not available, is there a particular reason you want it?

  Also with the way esxcli works, you would not find much use for code client side as all the "meat" is on the side server. The nice thing about the esxcli architecture is the customer esxcli basically asks a host ESX (i) and according to the available commands, he will dyanmically present them to the customer so when you go to a host ESX (i) 4.0, 4.1, or 5.0 hosts, you will see a different set of command made available compared to coding the logic side client to manage the different versions/etc.

  I have a question about the safety of coding. So, I know that anyone can create .jar .java or .class file.

• 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/

• 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

• 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.

• Looking for examples of Code clone the virtual machine

  Are there any sample code for cloning a virtual machine using the VISDK webservices? I have programming in C++ but a Java / c# application will also help.

  It can include both existing and newly added and other disks components.

  It is correct, you must make sure that the unitNumber is unique, I think that if you pass "-1" it will automatically increment the counters for you

• Required privilege to view the source code for the stored procedure

  RDBMS Version: 11.2.0.4

  Platform: Oracle Linux 6.4

  In our Production database, we have an application schema named CRM_PROD. And we have a read-only user named steve in this PB.

  Steve must be able to view the source code of all stored procedures, functions and packages in the CRM_PROD schema. But steve shouldn't be able to run these procedures, functions and packages in the CRM_PROD schema. What a privilege should give Steve for this?

  SYS is owner of the dictionary of data and tables for the source code. See configuration of privilege and role authorization - 11 g Release 2 (11.2).

  Select it no matter what dictionary grant will give user (read) access to the full data dictionary.
