VMware PERL SDK installation issue on CentOS 6

[ptalwar]

I am trying to install VMware Perl SDK on CentOS 6 64bit system and having some issue with network is unavailable.

Please see the message below.

Network is unavailable, please configure the network first otherwise please
install the following modules manually for use by vSphere CLI:

Archive::Zip 1.20 or newer
Class::MethodMaker 2.10 or newer
UUID 0.03 or newer
Data::Dump 1.15 or newer
SOAP::Lite 0.710.08 or newer

This should get them

Code: Select all

yum install perl-Archive-Zip perl-Class-MakeMethods uuid perl-Data-Dump perl-SOAP-Lite -y

I had a lot of problems with this SDK install too, but there is extra information for the installation.
There are a few steps you need to add to the install procedure which aren't covered in the pdf instructions.

Add the instructions on this page to the instructions you found in the PDF and everything should be fine.

THANKS, i was able to install SDK successfully by manually going into CPAN and running the command from there and installing each missing module and re-run vmware-install.pl command again.
