server2 hostconnect() fails with invalid parameters

Hi all,

I have installed vmware-server-e.x.p.-63231.i386.tar.gz onto SLES 10 Sp1.

From the directory /vmware-vix I untarred the vmware-vix.tar.gz and installed using the installer script.

I untarred the vix-perl.tar.gz and installed the package.

Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/vmware-vix/lib/ws_server_esx-4/32bit and also tried  /usr/lib/vmware-vix/lib/server-1/32bit.

As suggested elsewhere in this forum I edited vmwarerun.pl to use VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_VI_SERVER.

Still when I try the script, I get an Connect Failed: One of the parameters was invalid(3)

I made an test script  which generates the same error:

#!/usr/bin/perl

#

#

#

use VMware::Vix::Simple;

#use diagnostics;

sub mydie($$) {

my ($errstring, $err) = @_;

die "$errstring: ", GetErrorText($err), "($err)\n";

}

sub listhosts() {

}

sub listvms($) {

my ($hh) = @_;

my @vmlist = FindRunningVMs($hh, 300);

my $err = shift @vmlist;

foreach (@vmlist) {

print "VM: $_\n";

}

}

sub host_connect($$$$) {

my $hostname="https://192.168.1.10:8333/sdk";

my $port=8333;

my $username=vmware;

my $password=vmware;

my $err=undef;

my $handle=undef;

my $command="list";

my $hosthandle=undef;

($err, $handle) = HostConnect(VIX_API_VERSION,

VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_VI_SERVER,

$hostname, $port, $username, $password,

0, VIX_INVALID_HANDLE);

print "\n\n\t\thosthandle=$hosthandle,$hostname,$port,$username,$password\n\n";

mydie("Connect Failed", $err) if $err != VIX_OK;

listvms($hosthandle);

return $handle;

}

$hosthandle = host_connect($hostname,$port,$username,$password);

Any help would be appreciated.
