The ESX 3i license given to you from the website, is that installed? You can check under Configuration -> Licensed Features to make sure you have your stuff licensed for N CPUs.

I've used vmcreate and vmcontrol operations with the ESX 3i and it worked fine for me. Could you provide the commands which are problematic? I don't see them in the e-mail thread below.

Best,

HI, I have one more question, which is a problem in our experiment. We are now using the esxi with free license. When trying to take the operations like vmcreate or vmcontrol, we receive an error command saying that we are
trying a restricted operation. The cmds are as shown:

Error in 'Redh5' under host esxi2.p12.edu.cn: VM 'Redh5' can't be powered
off


SOAP Fault:

-----------

Fault string: fault.RestrictedVersion.summary


The question has been submitted to the mailing list some days before. As the reply, we confirmed the reason on the both conditions of non- license and free-license, but the operations still succeeded without license and failed with a free license. Some discussions in the vmware official forum show that
the free license is restricted from modification operations.

Have you encountered the problem ? And is there any way to solve the problem
?
