I finally have a lead as how to fix this.
I turns out when you run the command you not only have to specify the port, but
also the hostname. So the following command worked without errors:
vmware-vim-cmd -H localhost -O 904 -U <USERNAME> -P <PASSWORD> vmsvc/getallvms
I ran a grep -r in the management node directory for vmware-vim-cmd and found
these commands are being run from VIM.SHH.pm.
So I guess my new question is, how to I go about editing this and/or did I miss
a database configuration that specifies the parameters I'm missing?
Kindest Regards,
Patrick Sigmon
