Re: vSphere plugin does not starts slave

[ryanvsielts]

Hi Jason Swager,

I also have this problem. I'm using vsphere 6.0 and vsphere cloud plugin 
2.11. But the jenkins conn't connect to the vm.







Could you help me solve this?


Many Thanks

 According to VMware, there only remote API on the free ESXi is read-only - you
 cannot write, such as make changes. The vSphere client does use the
 write aspect of the remote API, but HOW is not published.  All of the various
 APIs, both by VMware and by third parties have a clause indicating
 they will work read-only with free ESXi.  That makes me rather curious as to
 how libvirt can manage the free ESXi - or are they just using the
 read-only aspect.

 I'll take a closer look, because iirc libvirt can manage free esxi hosts.

 The plugin will work with a vCenter installation or with single ESXi
 hosts.  BUT - the ESXi host must be fully licensed, otherwise the remote
 APIs won't work, which is how the plugin works with the VMs.  If you get
 the free ESXi host with it's free license, the remote APIs are disabled and
 the plugin won't work.  I'll update the wiki page for this...

Re: vSphere plugin does not starts slave

[Jason Swager]

I believe that HTTPS is the ONLY allowed way of connecting.

The plugin will work with a vCenter installation or with single ESXi hosts. 
 BUT - the ESXi host must be fully licensed, otherwise the remote APIs 
won't work, which is how the plugin works with the VMs.  If you get the 
free ESXi host with it's free license, the remote APIs are disabled and the 
plugin won't work.  I'll update the wiki page for this...

 Strange question, but can it cause a problem I use https in vSphere 
 URL? And, this is not really a vSphere cloud but a single ESXi 
 server...

If via Java Web Start, make sure the the slave agent really did

If via SSH, make sure that the VM has enough time to fully start 
(wait 
for 
VM Tools plus any necessary delay) so that the SSH server is
