I am testing, 2X VDI. Its look nice. Only it is not working, properly.

Error log:
failed to power off guest using soap
SOAP 1.1 fault: "":ServerFaultCode [no subcode]|"fault.RestrictedVersion.summary"|Detail: |
 
The vSphere SDK is restricted to read-only operations when connecting to the free version of ESXi[1], hence an error is produced when attempting certain VDI operations like starting a virtual machine.

Thanks
 
So ESXi 4.1 is not supported then? we have tried with 2 hosts 4.0 and 4.1 and receive the same soap errors?
 
VMware ESX/ESXi License keys required to work with VDS
Posted on March 22, 2011 by ian
For VDS to be able to work with VMware ESX/ESXi it must use vCLI.
This is the remote scripting environment to interact with the hosts.

vCLI is available with one of the following licenses :
vSphere Essentials
vSphere Essential Plus
vSphere Standard
vSphere Advanced
vSphere Enterprise
vSphere Enterprise Plus.
VDS will not work with the free license key called:
vSphere Hypervisor
This information was obtained from: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/micros ... 0157393663
License Information:
VMware vSphere for Small Business: http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/vsphe ... tions.html
NON SMB Licenses: https://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/vsph ... tions.html
 
Note here :
* - The free version of ESXi does not have support for vCLI thus the connection broker will not work.


Thanks
