Navigating ESXi Command Line via VMA
I have VMA 5.0 installed in my ESXi environment and I have added all the ESXisevers via "sudo vifp addserver xxxxxxx" and I see all my ESXi servers when I do "vifp listservers". I just cannot figure out how to navigate the file structure of the ESXi server via the VMA command line. If I do a "vifptarget --set xxxxxxx" the command prompt is appended to include that ESXi server but all of the command line navigation is pointing me to the VMA and not the ESXi server. For example if I do an "ls" I see the file structure for the VMA not the ESXi server.
All I am trying to do is install the ACP UPS agents on the ESXi server and I'm supposed to change directories to the location of the install files and execute via 'sudo ./install_en-sh" but I cannot for the life of me figure that out. I have spent the last 4 hours hunting this down to no avail.

vCenter running check script
Hi. Very new to VMA and Perl, just got the appliance installed and want to try writing a simple script to just check if vCenter is actually running - guessing you could simply try to connect to the vcenter, if you get an error generate an email.
Not really had a chance to look at many examples yet so was wondering if anyone had any good pointers?
Cheers

Slow vMA - Every vifp command takes 10-15 seconds to run.
The subject says it all. The vMA VM is fast and responsive but as soon and I run a vifp command or an esxcli command against a target it takes ~10 seconds for a result. Any thoughts?

vmware-cmd register command
I have been running the following command successfully in a script for several months now.
vmware-cmd --server 192.168.5.29 --vihost 192.168.5.28 -s register "/vmfs/volumes/192.168.5.28/CloneTestBackup/CloneTestBackup.vmx" ".5network" "Resources"
(yes the datastore is named after the ip address of the ESXi host)
I upgraded my Vmware vCenter Server Appliance from 5.1 to 5.5 and since then the command has not been working.
I get the following error:
Fault:
SOAP Fault:
-----------
Fault string: A specified parameter was not correct.
Fault detail: InvalidArgument
A specified parameter was not correct.
The data center and resource pool are correct because when I change their names I get a different error.
I can register the machine successfully from the vSphere Client and the Web Interface but it always fails for any vmx file from the vMA.
The unregister command works fine it is only the register command that fails.
192.168.5.29 is vCenter Server Appliance 5.5
192.168.5.28 is ESXi 5.1

Getting frustrated trying to get a password in vMA 5.5.0.0-1387931
I'm trying to set up vMA to get the APC Network Shutdown installed, and I'm really getting annoyed here.
I'm on a danish keyboard, so I'm trying to do it as simple as possible, to elimitate problems with keyboard mapping.
So after booting the vMA, setting the IP, it prompts me for a password for the va-admin user.
First I enter vmware for the old password, and then I enter Qazx1234! (as ! is mapped the same way on the 1 key on english and danish keyboard).
It accepts the password and boots up.
Then at the blue window, I press enter to login, gives it 'va-admin' as username and Qazx1234! as password, and it fails every time.
I've tried all sorts of tricks, like entering keyboard.typematicMinDelay = "2000000" in the vmx, but that didn't help.
I can't authenticate through the webinterface either.
How hard can it be? And why does vmware care what password we use anyways, its up to US to handle security, not them.

VMware vMA and free ESXi - which ESXi license do you need so that vMA is usefull?
I'm just evaluating vMA 5.5 with my home-lab of a few free ESXi 5.5-servers and now after reading some documentations I was trying my first few commands in the vMA-machine.
So i registered my first ESXi-server with the vifp command, connected to it and then I just wanted to turn on my test-guest-vm:
vmware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/401176d6-90e595dc/test-debian/test-debian.vmx start
Operation cannot be performed:
SOAP Fault:
-----------
Fault string: Current license or ESXi version prohibits execution of the requested operation.
Fault detail: RestrictedVersionFault
So WTF, you even cannot turn on/off a VM with command-line operations with the free version or am I doing it wrong???
Which license do you need for ESXi to use even the most itsy bitsy common features with vMA?
What is even possible with vMA 5.5 and the free ESXi, only read-only operations?
Have to ask here, because I didn't find anything on vMA with free ESXi license restrictions.

Do I have to use vMA 5.5 for ESXi 5.5?
Hi,
We have Powerchute agents in vMAs running vMA 5.0
If we upgrade the ESXi to 5.5. does it follow that we must use vMA 5.5? Or will an older vMA still work with a newer ESXi?
Thanks,

vMA and apparent firewall issue
I deployed a new copy of the vMA 5.5.0.1. Immediately after deployment, I was able to ping the vMA and ssh into it. After running for about 24 hours, I am no longer able to ping or ssh into the appliance. If I connect to the console, I am able to ping the default gateway and other esxi hosts. What am I missing here?
thanks

Best way to configure vMA 5.5.0.1 with ESXi cluster inside vCenter?
Hi,
Just setup my first vMA box in my environment and I'm having some confusion on how to best set this up to authenticate to ESXi boxes managed by vCenter. I added the vcenter as a AD authentication server and I can connect to it through vMA and send commands to all my hosts. The only problem is that each time I run a command, it will ask for username and password each time. Am I suppose to setup fastpass authentication somewhere as wel?

New to VMA, question on esxcli
I am new to VMA. I find it is going to be very useful.
A question I have is when running esxcli against many hosts, is it possible to just add vcenter as a target? It doesnt appear that is enough, that I have to have each esx host as a target in order to run esxcli commands against a host. Thank you.

vmware-cmd over 15 minutes via vcenter
New to VMA... Fresh install of the appliance vMA-5.5.0.1-1663088.
Running:
vi-admin@localhost:~> time vmware-cmd -H vcenter.ces.cvnt.net -U root -P xxx -h vm3.ces.cvnt.net -l
... (about 23 entries)
real 16m24.956s
user 15m35.606s
sys 0m2.792s
If I skip vcenter, things are reasonable:
vi-admin@localhost:~> time vmware-cmd -U root -P yyy -H vm3.ces.cvnt.net -l
...
real 0m2.423s
user 0m1.996s
sys 0m0.040s
Connecting vcenter server with sphere client is fine. Running the appliance version of vcenter if that makes a difference.
