Hi All,
Looking closely it looks like there is an issue when, the esx.pm picks all the
parameters to initiate a poweroff command on the VMguest using the VMware Perl
toolkit API
Please advise ...if my understanding below is right or wrong?

#>>>>
1. Here the server info seems to be wrong.
2. --vmname should actually be " esx3-basewinxp-v0" and not the
VMguest name;
3. NOT sure if the username 0 is associated with "root" ??? if yes
then that seems right.
When I corrected the above info and executed on command line it powered off the
VMguest.
I am still looking into where the above incorrect info is pulled from so that I
can correct it. Any idea ?? Any database tables ??
I am also curious to know if we are supposed to name our Vmguest based on the
vmnames? Just for imaging purpose?
Thank you,
Amit
