Hi,
its vCenter, Version 4.1 Update 3.
I am trying to connect from Centos6,
libvirt-0.10.2-18.el6_4.4.x86_64
libvirt-client-0.10.2-18.el6_4.4.x86_64
Is the host name in the URI referring to this vCenter? In this case
you need to use a vpx:// style URI:
virch -c vpx://vcenter-server/datacenter/esx-server?no_verify=1&auto_answer=1
See http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html#uriformat for more details.
But actually libvirt should complain if you use a esx:// URI to
connect to a vCenter server.
