Re: [libvirt-users] access VMX config on esxi with virsh
Okay, the problem is in libvirt's VMX parser. This entry in the VMX file:
guest.commands.sharedSecretLogin.hostd-quiescedsnap = "..."
contains a '-' in the name. The parser doesn't expect this and outputs
the error you see.
I posted a patch to the list (and CCed you) that fixes this bug and
adds a new test case based on your attached .vmx file.

Hi,
you are right - the problem is specific to only that one vmx file - for other virtual
machines dumpxml is working, as i found out.
i am using esxi 4.1.0 and virsh 0.8.4. the machine was created using vsphere client, and
was cloned and renamed afterwards - maybe that was the problem ...
regards, frank
