I am trying to revert a guest to the latest snapshot using snapshotmanager.pl and all works fine when I run it. However when I try to run it using cron it fails! I redirected output from the snapshotmanager.pl command to a text file and get the following:
'Server version is unavailable at 'https://VMHOST:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/VMware/VICommon.pm line 545'
Maybe this is a red herring - I'm no expert! I added the 5 or 6 VMWare specific lines at the end of the /etc/bashrc file to the script (as mentioned here http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/01/how-to-automate-cron-vi-fastpass.html) but still no luck! The script still runs fine manually.
I'm using vMA to connect to the ESXi 5.0.0 host its running on. I downloaded and I am using the vMA-5.0.0.1-643553 OVF.
Any suggestions? I'm gonna start over with a fresh ovf but if that fails I am out of ideas!
This is for a new deployment of a production system so any and all help is welcome - I am increasingly under pressure to get this one going!
Thanks!
Chris
