VimException Timeout, Session no longer exist
Hi Everyone,
I am writing VIMAPI via vb.net and after the application launches and calls to connect to my VCenter server via Client.Connect and SSPIHelper. Approximately 60 minutes of runtime and a call to a VIMAPI function a VIMException occurs for Unauthorized use. This is due to the current session time for the VIMAPI. Is there a function I can call to check to see if the current session is alive and well and call to reauthorize if needed?
[code]
Try
sc = Client.Connect("https://virtualcenter/sdk")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Return False
End Try
SessMgr = Client.GetView(Client.ServiceContent.SessionManager, Nothing)
If Not LoginToVirtualCenter(Username, Password) Then
Return False
End If
Private Function LoginToVirtualCenter(Optional ByVal Username As String = Nothing, Optional ByVal Password As String = Nothing) As Boolean
If Username Is Nothing And Password Is Nothing Then
Dim SSPIClient As SspiClients = New SspiClients("", SspiPackageType.NTLM)
Dim SSPI As New VMware.Vim.SSPIAuthentication
Try
Dim SH As New SspiHelper("host/MyServer.MyDomain.Com@MyDomain.Com")
Dim MyToken As Byte()
Dim MyServerToken As Byte()
Dim ContinueProcessing As Boolean = True
SH.InitializeClient(MyToken, MyServerToken, ContinueProcessing)
UserSess = SessMgr.LoginBySSPI(Convert.ToBase64String(MyToken), "en")

Dim MySSPIChallange As SSPIChallenge = ex.MethodFault
Try
SSPIClient.Initialize(Convert.FromBase64String(MySSPIChallange.Base64Token))
Try
UserSess = SessMgr.LoginBySSPI(Convert.ToBase64String(SSPIClient.Token), "en")
Return True
Catch exab As VimException

Return LoadVirtualCenter(GVSphereUsername, GVSpherePassword)
Catch exabc As Exception
Console.WriteLine(exabc.Message)

End Try
Return False
Catch e As Exception

Thumbprint mismatch
The Plugin does not work when we use VMCA to generate the certificate. I have used the certificate manager utility to generate the certificates and followed the link vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center. I have used the the 4th option "install the root certificates and replace all the certificates".
The root cause analysis suggests the following:
The plugin stores a list of valid thumbprints of all the servers present in the Vcenter using the Vcenter Api com.vmware.vise.usersession.ServerInfo.thumbprint. The list of thumbprints are not getting updated even after updating the certificates of the server using VMCA. So when the plugin tries to connect to the VCenter server it returns the updated thumbprint but it is not found in the list of valid thumbprints. The plugin throws the exception that the thumbprint does not match.
Steps tried:
Used the latest Vcenter 6.0 WebClient vsphere-client-lib.jar to build the java project and deploy in Vcenter.
Restarted all the vmware services using service-control --start --all
Restarted the Vcenter Server.
Cleared the browser cache.
Unregistered and registered the plugin.
Used the certool CLI to manually create the certificates and vecs-cli to add it to VECS.
Clarifications required:
Need to know if there are any post-installation steps which needs to be performed.
The folder C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\cfg\sso\keys still contains the old certificates. Is there a way to update them?
Any apis available to refresh the serverInfo?

getting esxi information from vm
Hi all.
i want to find the host information from vm's info.
right now i have the object id of a VM. i want to find the host's MORef to do some processing.
i guess there will be some top->down approach will be there but it will be good to have some bottom->up approach where i can directly use vm's data to find host's info(MORef or ObjectID).
any lead in this regard will be helpful.
thanks in advance,

Extract VM Host - Guest relationship through C# Application using VMware vSphere Management SDK
Hi,
I am trying to build a C# application that can extract VM Host - Guest relationship from vCenter Server. I am using VMware vSphere Management SDK for this task. I am new to using API to extract data from vCenter Server. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could throw some inputs on the below questions,
1) I don't have access to API Url and credentials. I need to create an application that should accept API URL, Username and Password from user and a Test button should check if the credentials are valid and application is connected to Server. Which API methods should I use to implement this functionality ? I sthere any sample code that I can reuse to implement this feature.
2) Next task is to extract VM Host and guest relationship data from vCenter Server. The data needs to written in csv files on clicking the Run button from C# application. Which API methods should I use to extract this data ? Also, is there any sample C# code available to reuse to extract required data ?

retrieve datacenter name in vsphere SDK 6.0
we were using 5.5 SDK and retrieving datacenter name .Now,with 6.0 SDK,the dc name code throws null pointer exception.Please suggest
serverConnection sc = si.getServerConnection();
String dcName = null;
_logger.info(" Server connection url : " + sc.getUrl());
Object dvsObject = MorUtil.createExactManagedEntity(sc, dvsMor);
if(dvsObject != null && dvsObject instanceof DistributedVirtualSwitch){
DistributedVirtualSwitch dvsObj = (DistributedVirtualSwitch)dvsObject;
ManagedEntity me = dvsObj.getParent();
ManagedObjectReference networkMor = me.getMOR();
The above line throws null pointer.Please suggest an example to retrieve the dc name from dvs object.
Is there any change in amanged object entity hierarchy and folder hierarchy in 6.0?

Error while using build.bat to generate a test certificate and STSService stubs
I am trying to build a C# application using vSphere API that connect to vCenter server and gets a Host-VM relationship.
To run shared by vmWare, I followed developer guide and set all environment variables. When I am running .\build.bat to generate a test certificate and STSService stubs, I get the below error,

I am using Visual Studio 12. I've also set VSINSTALLDIR ="C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\SDK"
I noticed that bin folder under C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\SDK is empty. Do I need to make any changes in this path ?

Using the 5.5 SDK to perform power operation on VM
Hi all
I'm very new to c# so please excuse my ignorance but I'm trying to create a simple web application written in asp.net and c# in visual studio 2013 that will allow me to perform simple power on and power off operations on a VM.
Using the guide at http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.dsg.doc/sdk_c_sharp_development.5.3.html I have downloaded the Web Service 5.5 SDK and performed the setup guide to configure the environmental variables and build the Vim25Service.dll and Vim25Service.XmlSerializers.dll dll's. As stated in the guide I can run the SimpleClient C# application which has worked successfully.
My issue however is that I really have no idea what to do next....
I've created a new web application with an asp.net page containing an asp button. I've added the two .dll's as references to the solution and added using Vim25Api; to the page. I'm trying to follow other example on the net but not having much luck. I'm not sure if just add the dll's is enough or do I need to import the whole Samples2008.sln solution into my new solution? Once added, how do I use them?
I'm by no means an experienced programmer and so at this stage I'm not fussed about setting up custom classes (if that even makes sense). Could anyone provide an example of how I could do this in the C# code behind the button? Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

Using Perl to create a nested resource pool
I've used William Lam's "createResourcepool.pl" script as a guide and am trying to convert it to where it will create a child/nested resource pool. The group I work for has a Resource Pool assigned to us (IHPS), and I'd like to be able to create child/nested Resource Pools under that to help group project team work.
Below is the code I've leveraged and modified:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# William Lam 11/28/09
# http://engineering.ucsb.edu/~duonglt/vmware
use strict;
use warnings;
use VMware::VILib;
use VMware::VIRuntime;
my %opts = (
resourcepool => {
type => "=s",
help => "Name of Resource Pool to create",
required => 1,
},
);
Opts::add_options(%opts);
Opts::parse();
Opts::validate();
Util::connect();
my ($folder, $resourcepool, $parent_pool_view, $parentresourcepool);
$resourcepool = Opts::get_option('resourcepool');
my $parent_pool = "IHPS";
$parent_pool_view = Vim::find_entity_view(view_type => 'ResourcePool', filter => { name => $parent_pool});
unless($parent_pool_view) {
Util::disconnect();
die "Unable to find parent Resource Pool: \"$parent_pool\"\n";
}
$parentresourcepool = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => $parent_pool_view->resourcePool);
eval {
my $sharesLevel = SharesLevel->new('normal');
my $cpuShares = SharesInfo->new(shares => 0, level => $sharesLevel);
my $memShares = SharesInfo->new(shares => 0, level => $sharesLevel);
my $cpuAllocation = ResourceAllocationInfo->new(expandableReservation => 'true', limit => -1, reservation => 0, shares => $cpuShares);
my $memoryAllocation = ResourceAllocationInfo->new(expandableReservation => 'true', limit => -1, reservation => 0, shares => $memShares);
my $rp_spec = ResourceConfigSpec->new(cpuAllocation => $cpuAllocation, memoryAllocation => $memoryAllocation);
my $newRP = $parentresourcepool->CreateResourcePool(name => $resourcepool, spec => $rp_spec);
if($newRP->type eq 'ResourcePool') {
print "Successfully created new ResourcePool: \"" . $resourcepool . "\"\n";
} else {
print "Error: Unable to create new ResourcePool: \"" . $resourcepool . "\"\n";
}
};
if($@) { print "Error: " . $@ . "\n"; }
Util::disconnect();
When I run this from (from a Windows Server 2008 R2 system with the 5.1 Perl SDK installed), I get this error:
Can't call method "type" on unblessed reference at C:\Program Files (x86)/VMware/VMware vSphere CLI/Perl/lib/VMware/VICommon.pm line 1501.
I'm new enough to Perl that I'm not sure how to resolve this - any ideas/hints?
