Is your libvirt up-to-date?

No, I just tried it but  it didn't connect.
After it gets the username and password it shows the following error

The documentation is outdated. libvirt also supports ESXi 5.0.

What is the exact error you get?

You already said that it reports being connected to ESXi 5.0. Why do
you expect it to report 4.x?


2012/10/23 Abbas <akhan@phi9.com>:

Yes, that seems to be correct.

The libvirt VMware ESX driver can manage VMware ESX/ESXi 3.5/4.x and
VMware GSX 2.0, also called VMware Server 2.0, and possibly later

versions.

Since 0.8.3 the driver can also connect to a VMware vCenter 2.5/4.x

(VPX).

Thank you Abbas,
I already tried it but I got a message saying it found version 5.0

instead

of 4.x. It seems that libvirt does not support ESXi 5.0.
I used the command in libvirt-0.8.8 the windows version.

   You could write a bash or batch script to do that.
Normal connect format is "virsh -c esx://yournode"

"virsh start [domain]" is what starts a VM. Refer to the man pages for
virsh command set.

Hi,

I am a new libvirt user and I wonder if I can use this library to start
or
stop a VM in ESXi 5.0.
For example to write an application using libvirt in windows or linux
that
connects to an ESXi 5.0 server and get the list of VMs and start one of
them.

If so, is there any sample about it?

Thank you,
Ali
