check_esx3.pl fails to authenticate at ESXi host
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:49 pm
Recently I upgraded to ESXi5.1 and all of a sudden, my check_esx3.pl fails to authenticate to my ESX hosts on the disaster-recovery site but authenticates well at the production datacenter. I thought I might be using outdated script and tried using check_esx3-0.5.pl at no avail.
From the command-line I use something like: ./check_esx3.pl -H <hostname> -u <user> -p ,password> -l vmfs
An actual error I get is: " "CHECK_ESX3.PL CRITICAL - Error: Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password"
When I ssh using same authentications, it works. And as I said, same commands on a different ESX cluster works.
What could be the issue?
Many thanks in advance.
