Unable to shutdown ESXi 4.1 host from vMA 4.1 using vicfg-hostops

$

Hi,

 

I have ESXi 4.1 U1 host server.  I also have vMA 4.1 but it's not running inside the ESXi host (but I suppose this isn't important, is it?)

 

According to the vcli doc, I could use the vicfg-hostops command to remotely shutdown ESXi host from within vMA.  Here is the command I use:

 

    vicfg-hostops --server esxi.mydomain.com --operation shutdown --force

 

It asked me to input username and password and I use "root" account of the ESXi host.  But after that the ESXi is not shutdown!

 

When I do a

 

        vifp listservers

 

esxi.mydomain.com is listed.

 

So, did I understand the document correctly?  Or did I make mistake in the syntax?  Did I miss something else important?

 

TIA
