Hi,

I'm having problem installing the VMware Perl SDK.

Here's what i've done:

Code: Select all

yum erase perl-XML-SAX-Base -y
yum install perl-XML-SAX --exclude=perl-XML-SAX-Base -y
yum install perl-Nagios-Plugin libuuid* perl-XML-LibXML

export http_proxy=192.168.100.10:8080
export ftp_proxy=192.168.100.10:8021

downloaded: VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.1.0-780721.x86_64.tar.gz
note: VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-4.0.0-161974.x86_64.tar.gz is no longer available on http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/forums/vsphere_sdk_perl.. i was redirected to http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/forums/vsphere_sdk_perl instead.

cd /tmp
tar xzf VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.1.0-780721.x86_64.tar.gz
cd vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/

We can certainly help with that, but first have you checked out the new(ish) VMWare solution by Troy Lea?

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... re/details

This eliminates the need to install the SDK and offloads the check to the VMWare system, reducing load on the Nagios server. I would look into this solution and then decide if you want to use it or continue on with the SDK.

We're working on testing a wizard he has created for it as well. Let us know how that solution works out for you!
