What are the necessary actions in order to build and run vSphere Management SDK 6.0 samples using Java JDK 8 (1.8.0_x)

I have followed the Developer's setup guide. Aparently samples and stubs are correctly generated but when running one sample, errors are displayed.


run.bat com.vmware.general.SimpleClient --url https://IP_addr/sdk  --username user --password pwd --ignorecert ignorecert



WARNING: Java is now set to trust all SSL certificates.

How to generate code using wsdl2h.exe to get ride of these errors?

What I am trying to accomplish is to connect to an existing VMware VM and then access the virtual eth connections. Once a particular NIC is found, I want to toggle its state from UNPLUGGED to PLUGGED and vice versa.

To accomplish that I use the following code to create a new eth connection to play with:

#Invoke ReconfigVM_Task
request = VI.ReconfigVM_TaskRequestMsg()
_this = request.new__this(vm._mor)
_this.set_attribute_type(vm._mor.get_attribute_type())
request.set_element__this(_this)
spec = request.new_spec()

#Add a NIC.
dev_change = spec.new_deviceChange()
dev_change.set_element_operation("add")
nic_ctlr = VI.ns0.VirtualE1000_Def("nic_ctlr").pyclass()
nic_backing = VI.ns0.VirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo_Def("nic_backing").pyclass()
nic_backing.set_element_deviceName(label)
nic_ctlr.set_element_addressType("generated")
nic_ctlr.set_element_backing(nic_backing)
nic_ctlr.set_element_key(4)
dev_change.set_element_device(nic_ctlr)

spec.set_element_deviceChange([dev_change])
request.set_element_spec(spec)
ret = hostcon._proxy.ReconfigVM_Task(request)._returnval

#Wait for the task to finish
task =VITask(ret, hostcon)
status = task.wait_for_state([task.STATE_SUCCESS, task.STATE_ERROR])
if status == task.STATE_SUCCESS:
   print"VM %s successfully reconfigured"% vm
elif status == task.STATE_ERROR:
   print"Error reconfiguring vm: %s"% vm, task.get_error_message()

As a result of the above code, I see the following gets created:

eth3  :1Gb/s TP UNPLUGGED|UP  --None--   -NoIPv6-

But now I am stuck at trying to change this UNPLUGGED field. Can this even be changed at the VM level? or this part needs to be changed at virtual switch level? Asking because I found online that the "PLUGGED/UNPLUGGED" information comes from the virtual switch entry? Is that true?

Hi,

I am trying to use vsphere sdk 6 to create scheduled task to unmap datastore, here is the code:

sc: ServiceContent

hostStorageSystem: HostStorageSystem

vmfsUuid: String (the vmfsUuid of a specific datastore)

ManagedObjectReference scheduledTaskManager = sc.getScheduledTaskManager();  // get the scheduledTaskManager

//set methodAction
MethodAction methodAction = new MethodAction();

methodAction.setName("UnmapVmfsVolumeEx_Task");

List<MethodActionArgument> arguments = methodAction.getArgument();

MethodActionArgument arg0 = new MethodActionArgument();

MethodActionArgument arg1 = new MethodActionArgument();

List<String> uuidList = new ArrayList<String>();    

uuidList.add(vmfsUuid);

arg0.setValue(uuidList);

arguments.add(arg0);

//set taskScheduler
OnceTaskScheduler taskScheduler = new OnceTaskScheduler();

//set scheduledTaskSpec

ScheduledTaskSpec taskSpec = new ScheduledTaskInfo();

taskSpec.setName("ScheduledUnmapTask");

taskSpec.setDescription("scheduled task to unmap a datastore");

taskSpec.setEnabled(true);

taskSpec.setAction(methodAction);

taskSpec.setScheduler(taskScheduler);

  _vimPort.createObjectScheduledTask(scheduledTaskManager, hostStorageSystem, taskSpec);

for the unmapVmfsVolumEx_task, I need to pass the a list containing vmfsuuids. But there are problem with arraylist type.

Anyone can help to solve the problem. Not sure whether there are other problems of the above code.

I want to get the running task ID in vcenter server. Because sometimes we need to cancel this task due to some reasons. I know I can use PowerCLI get-task to get this.

Can I get the Running task ID use Webservice? Or other Method, we need to integrate with other system.

Hi,

I implemented the unmap task through vSphere web client sdk 6 api method: UnmapVmfsVolumeEx_task(HostStorageSystem, VmfsUuid).

But when I run this task on vsphere web client side, this task failed:

TaskName: host.StorageSystem.unmapVmfsVolumeEx.label

TaskStatus: Cannot complete the operation due to an incorrect request to the server

I try to get the task info and the esxi log files, however no more useful information found.

What will be the possible reason for this failure? Where could I get more useful information about this failed task?

and for following:

Previously I tested with ESXI 5.5 and the unmap task failed.Then I tried to test with ESXI 6.0 and it worked.

So vsphere web client sdk 6 Api unmap method only support ESXI 6?

Greetings, 

I am very new to using C# so maybe this is more of a simple matter of me missing something simple but I am trying to use the VMWare VSphere SDK for 5.5.  I am following the following article to set up my environment:

vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center

I am having a hard time with step 3 "generate the VimService.cs file"

The error that I am getting from wsewsdl3 is as follows:

Error:  Invalid URL, or File 'and' not found.

At first, I thought this was maybe an issue with the environment variables that I set but I did a cd to each variable and they are valid.  I also ensure that both the vim.wsdl and the VimService.wsdl are both located at the paths specified.  I am not sure where the command is getting the "'and'" from.  I did a direct copy and paste out of the documentation for the command to ensure that I did not have any typos when I manually typed in the command.

Hi all ,

We are working on the vSphere plugin and currently got stuck with creating a tasks in the vSphere webclients recent tasks.

we need to add a task to the recent tasks tab for any operation we do on the plugin we are developing .

My code looks like this :

    UserSession userSession = _userSessionService.getUserSession();
    ServerInfo[] sinfo = userSession.serversInfo;
    String sessionCookie = sinfo[0].sessionCookie;
    String serviceUrl = sinfo[0].serviceUrl;
    ServiceContent serviceContent = getServiceContent(sinfo[0].serviceGuid);
       
    ManagedObjectReference extensionReference = serviceContent.getExtensionManager(); 
    _taskMgrReference = serviceContent.getTaskManager();
   _vimPort.createTask(extensionReference,_taskMgrReference,"Rakesh","Bandari",true,"Administrator","TestFault");

this code doesn't work for me .Can some one please let me know how can i create a cutom task in the vPsphere plugin .

Thanks,

RakeshBandari

Hi, 

I need to resignature a copy datastore in our environment. 

And I reference below page to implement it

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.pg.doc/PG_Storage.10.9.html

When I use "HostDatastoreSystem.ResignatureUnresolvedVmfsVolume_Task" to resigninature, it's required hoststorage moref and HostUnresolvedVmfsResignatureSpec.

but i don't know how to get the spec what i need.

How can I get "HostUnresolvedVmfsResignatureSpec"? it doesn't belong to any return..

VMware vCenter Server 6.0U1 (6.0.0.3018523)

VMware ESXi Server 6.0U2 (6.0.0.3620759)

Guest OS: Windows Server 2012 R2

VMware Tools: 10.0.6.3560309

Trying to copy a large file to the guest causes the virtual machine to hang and eventually crash with error "CoreDump error line 2160, error Cannot allocate memory" as described in KB2137310

The file I'm trying to copy to the guest is Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64.msu (690.8 MB) which can be downloaded here:

Download Windows 8.1 Update for x64-based Systems (KB2919355) from Official Microsoft Download Center

I'm able to reproduce the issue with the attached code sample written in C# targeting .NET 4.5 and references VMware.Vim.dll that comes with VMware-PowerCLI-6.3.0-3737840.

I'm running on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1 and using Visual Studio 2015 Update 2.

"C:\KB2919355\Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64.msu" exists on my machine.

"C:\install" already exists in the guest.

In my case, the upload stops at around 50%.

There is enough disk space in the guest and on the host.

There is also enough memory on the host, indicated as Memory usage: 25445.00 MB Capacity: 32759.11 MB.

Running the PowerCLI Cmdlet Copy-VMGuestFile works without issues.

Would the fact that the vCenter Server is still running 6.0U1 still cause the issue?

I've asked my IT department to update it to 6.0U2, but I'm not sure how long they will take to update it.

Any other ideas?

Thank you!

Hi All,

I've downloaded vSphere Management SDK for vSphere 5.5.

I am using VS 2008 for this test.

I'm using the C# dotnet samples.

We have two ESXi 5.5 hosts that are in one cluster.

I've created the the following files using WSDL tools according to the instructions:

1. Vim25Service2008.dll

2. Vim25Service2008.XmlSerializers.dll

3. STSService.dll

I've changed the references in order to make the build pass.

After that I tried to run the Simple Client example.

I get the following error:

Hi,

    basically I use the code below (and it works) to get the list of vswitch and would like something like that for dVS....

var vswitches = ((VMware.Vim.HostSystem)(client.FindEntityViews(typeof(HostSystem), null, null, null)[0])).Config.Network.Vswitch;

            foreach (var vswitch in vswitches)

Thanks for your help.

Hello

May I create a vm with vmdk size >2T with SDK ?

I created a vm with wmdk 2046G with vSphere API, It works. But when I try to created a vm with vmdk 2048G, it fails and the error is :File *.vmdk is larger than the maximum size supported by datastore.

The enviroment is vSphere 5.5 and VMFS 5. 

Any body have idea on it?

thanks. 

Hi all,

how can be set the connection timeout in vSphere SDK?
I've tried to set in different way on VimPortType, with no luck.

For example:

        ((BindingProvider) _service).getRequestContext().put(JAXWSProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, DEFAULT_TIMEOUT); // Timeout in millis

        ((BindingProvider) _service).getRequestContext().put(JAXWSProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, DEFAULT_TIMEOUT); // Timeout in millis

Could you please help?

Documentation in lagging in this area.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am attempting to get a collection of HostSystem objects in a specific cluster using the VMware.Vim API that comes with PowerCLI 6. I can retrieve the cluster by doing:

var clusters = client.FindEntityViews(typeof(ClusterComputeResource), null, null, null).Cast<ClusterComputeResource>();

For each of these clusters, I can inspect the Host property to get an array of MoRef's that point to each host in the cluster. However, when attempting to retrieve the hosts using:

var hosts = client.GetViewsByMorefs(cluster.Host, "Name", "Summary", "Vm").Cast<HostSystem>();

An exception is thrown:

Required parameter specSet is missing


while parsing call information for method RetrieveProperties

at line 1, column 218


while parsing SOAP body

at line 1, column 207


while parsing SOAP envelope

at line 1, column 38

I have tried both with and without specifiying the params string[] properties parameter specified, but I get the same result either way. Is there something I'm missing?

I have also tried past versions of the library (5.5 and 5.0), and encounter the same problem.

Thanks!
