Hey all! I'm currently patching our ESXi 4.1 hosts using the vCLI 4.1 utility. I'm getting an error and it's starting to get very frustrating!
First off, I copied all of my patches here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin>
Then I opened the vCLI utility and typed the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin> perl vihostupdate.pl -server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -username XXXXXX -password XXXXXX -i -b update-from-esxi4.1-4.1_update03.zip
It lists the bulletins/names as it should. Then I run the following cmd:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin> perl vihostupdate.pl -server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -i -b update-from-esxi4.1-4.1_update03.zip BULLETIN NAME-SG
username: root
password: XXXXXX
At that point, I get the following error:
Error connecting to server at 'https://localhost/sdk/webService': Perhaps host is not a vCenter or ESX server
I'll be honest, I'm not real sure what to do at this point. Couldn't someone please help?! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!
