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
