Hi Toni,

thx for using vEMan!

I need the log to investigate this. To do that try to enable the console again and when you get the error message don't touch anything (let the error message open - do not close it) but open the logfile and attach the content:

~/.vEMan/vEMan.log

Thx
Thomas

Hm it shows that the VM is offline - is that true?

Then it would be clear why you get an error when opening the console.

But the error message while enabling console is strange - I think its possible that this is because of the 'dots' within your VM name. I will check that and come back to you asap.

Thomas

> Fault string: Current license or ESXi version prohibits execution of the requested operation.

well.. you had said that you use ESX v5 - do you have ESX 5.1 or 5.0 ?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Toni Pérez - 2013-03-21

My ESXI server is 5.1, The free version VMware vSphere Hypervisor

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

secure diversITy - 2013-03-21

I have tested vEMan with 5.0 only. Because of your error I looked on 5.1 and saw that the API has changed in some cases...

That means some vEMan features will not work with ESX 5.1.
--> OVF deployment or the console feature are not working in my tests

vEMan v2.0 will be fully implemented with the pysphere libraries - one reason is the current problem we see here but also to ease setup.

Unfortunately I cannot tell you when v2.0 will be ready - I have started coding on it and I would say I'm at 1% :-P

But I will try to look at least at the console feature for 5.1 in vEMan 0.9/1.0.
So stay tuned ;o)

thank you, wait for version 2.

secure diversITy - 2013-03-21

oh wait...
I had taken a look on the error before the "soap" one.. the timeout is maybe because of the enabled firewall within ESX 5.1 !?

I will check that further, give me a moment ;o)

oh .. yes! The reason for your console errors is the new ESX firewall in 5.1.

Can you follow this guide and tell me if that solves the problem for you?

For me the above solution solves the problem!

I'm trying this solution but the problem persist. I change vmx of ubuntu server and try to acces in to VeMan but the error it's the same.

  Well that VMX change isn't needed (because that will be done by vEMan automatically).
  
  What you need to do is what I mentioned before regarding "Firewall in ESX"(!). Starting from ESX v5.1 on the ESX firewall is automatically enabled.
  
  You either need to disable the firewall completely (which I would not recommend but depends on you and your security concerns) or to follow the steps described here:
  
  The quickest and easiest way to test where the problem occurs is nevertheless to disable the ESX firewall - at least - temporarly. To do so follow those steps here:
  
  login as user "root" to your ESX by SSH
  
  execute this command:
  
  esxcli network firewall set --enabled false
  
  (detailed information here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2005284)
  1. then start vEMan and try to connect to a VM console
  
  If that works fine it IS a problem with the ESX firewall which is not allowing you to connect to the VM console.
  
  Afterwards you should enable the ESX firewall again:
  
  login as user "root" to your ESX by SSH
  
  execute this command:
  
  esxcli network firewall set --enabled true
  
  and go through the following guide to add the permission to connect to VM console for vEMan:

  Hope that helps you out ;o)
