Now when I tried starting the node it gave me an error message saying: "error: Failed to start testNode error: internal error: Could not start domain:

Hi, I have started a virtual machine on my ESXi server. I was trying to attach a console to it but when I executed the command I got a message saying that *"Attaching a console is not supported in the current hypervisor." *Is there any way (patch or something) through which I can attach a console to my VM.

Thank you so much for the reply... :) I am trying to build this on OpenSUSE-11.4. And you said that I can get distro provided packages. I just want to ask whether installing those packages will work? Where can I get those packages? Can you please provide the link. I am scared of playing with the kernel as I am doing these things on a server that is why I am asking these things. // Varun On

Hello everyone, I want to use libvirt to manage an Vmware ESXi 4.0 server from within a virtual machine running on that server. I did not find any C examples using ESX(i). Can anyone give me some example code, because I am really new in this domain and I can't get started... I don't find any information about using libvirt with ESX(i), even if it is supposed to work with it. I thank you

Hello, I'm using certtool to generate the server certificates for ESXi - http://libvirt.org/remote.html#Remote_TLS_CA. I just copy the server certificate and key as /etc/vmware/ssl/rui.crt and /etc/vmware/ssl/rui.key. And then use virsh to connect from a CentOS 6.4 VM running on it - "virsh -c esx://<esx IP>. I get the following error - error: internal error curl_easy_perform()

virt-v2v is capable of accessing ESXi hypervisors now. There is only one remaining use of this tool - when converting from Xen hypervisors over ssh which are using host block devices for storage. --- v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod | 27 ++------------------------- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod b/v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod index
