[root@localhost tmp]# tar xzf VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.5.0-1384587.x86_64.taz.gz
tar (child): VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.5.0-1384587.x86_64.taz.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory

Have you tried to rerun the decompress and install? Due to the mistype, the file was not found. Try:

Code: Select all

tar xzf VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.5.0-1384587.x86_64.tar.gz
cd vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/
./vmware-install.pl

Post the errors in your next post.

I have tried that and it still doesn't work. I get the error that the file exists and when I try to run the install it says that it is not available.

[abrist]

Ok, lets try this order of ops:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -rf vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib
tar xzf VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.5.0-1384587.x86_64.tar.gz
cd vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/
./vmware-install.pl

[ancovington]

This is what I get:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost tmp]# rm -rf vmware-vshpere-cli-distrib
[root@localhost tmp]# tar xzf VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.5.0-1384587.x86_64.tar.gz
tar (child): VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.5.0-1384587.x86_64.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[root@localhost tmp]#

What is the exact name of the SDK tarball in your /tmp directory? Copy and paste it out of the terminal if possible.

[ancovington]

VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.5.0-1292267.x86_64.tar.gz

[slansing]

Well that looks like your issue right there.. You've been using the wrong tarball name in your commands. Please run through abrist's steps again, this time with the correct file name.

[ancovington]

Here is the output I get:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost tmp]# rm -rf vmware-vshpere-cli-distrib
[root@localhost tmp]# tar xzf VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.5.0-1292267.x86_64.tar.gz
tar (child): VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.5.0-1292267.x86_64.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[root@localhost tmp]# cd vmware-vshpere-cli-distrib/
-bash: cd: vmware-vshpere-cli-distrib/: No such file or directory
[root@localhost tmp]# ./vmware-install.pl
-bash: ./vmware-install.pl: No such file or directory
[root@localhost tmp]#

[abrist]

That is not the right file name . . . .
You tried: VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.5.0-1292267.x86_64.tar.gz
Your actual file name is: VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.5.0-1292267.x86_64.tar.gz
Please be more attentive and follow the directions carefully:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
tar xzf VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.5.0-1292267.x86_64.tar.gz
cd vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/
./vmware-install.pl

Ok, now I am really embarrassed.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP ON MONITORING VM.
One more question. Is there a way to change the unknown error with Datastores of our ESX host?
This is what we are seeing:

UNKNOWN: Login to VirtualCentre server failed: Error connecting to server at 'https://yourvcenterserver.yourdomain.lo ... webService': Bad hostname
