Hi, I am trying to figure out how vmware-cmd works. But first of all, what I want to do is update the user management tool I have to remove possible VMware virtual machines associated to one student when that student leaves the university: some student are granted VMware virtual machines, at the end of their studies, their account get automatically eleted, but I have to manually proceed to backup and delete the virtual machines. I have installed the port net/vmware-vsphere-cli and I am trying to figure how it works. 1) Can it be used to export an OVF template from a virtual machine? If not, the rest is meaning less. 2) When I run "vmware-cmd -H myESXi.host.example.com -l" I receive in stderr something like: SOAP request error - possibly a protocol issue: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">; <soapenv:Body> <RetrievePropertiesResponse xmlns="urn:vim25"><returnval><obj type="VirtualMachine">10</obj><propSet><name>availableField</name><val xsi:type="ArrayOfCustomFieldDef"></val></propSet><propSet><name>capability</name><val xsi:type="VirtualMachineCapability"> and the result is truncated. I cannot manage to have vmware-cmd give me a simple list of the virtual machines. Where should I look at? TIA, Olivier --
