Hi everyone,
I searched previous postings and I couldn't find a definitive answer on this..
I run a small lab of RHEL/Centos Based servers on which there's VMWare Workstation running on a non-standard port but still manageable by tools like VMrun (and the Fusion of Workstation GUI, of course).
I'm trying to use virsh with this setup and getting the following error from both RHEL6 and RHEL7:
$ virsh -c esx://user1@server1:943/?no_verify=1 Enter user1's password for server1: error: internal error Expecting product 'gsx' or 'esx' or 'embeddedEsx' or 'vpx' but found 'ws' error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
I tried 'gsx' as a type too but to no avail. The mode that I'm using is called by vmware a 'ws-shared' mode..:
$ /usr/bin/vmrun -T ws-shared -h https://localhost:943/sdk -u user1 listRegisteredVM Host password: Total registered VMs: 35 [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS41_node1/VCS4.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS41_node2/VCS4.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS41_node3/VCS4.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS41_node4/VCS4.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS51_node1/VCS5.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS51_node2/VCS5.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS51_node3/VCS5.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS51_node4/VCS5.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] DOS622/dos.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] Solaris8/solaris8.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] Solaris10/solaris10.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS60_node1/VCS6.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] VCS60_node2/VCS6.vmx [ha-datacenter/standard] MacOSX_107/Mac_OS_X_Lion.vmx [...]
Would that be something easy to hack/add for the libvirt versions I'm using? (RHEL6/7) even if this means recompiling some src.rpms..
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Here's a quick hack you can test. It should make the ESX driver treat a VMware Workstation as VMware GSX server. This should work then: virsh -c gsx://user1@server1:943/?no_verify=1 -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
