Hi Josh,
     I am not familiar with ESX, but googl searched the error string and 
got this: http://benohead.com/esxi-restrictedversionfault/
Please see it if applies to you.

Subject:        [xcat-user] Will xCAT work with ESXi 5.5?



Hello all,

I ran into this issue when trying to create a vm I had defined in xCAT in 
an environment where we have two ESXi 5.5 standalone servers:

# mkvm --verbose vm1 -s 100G
Error: esx plugin bug, pid 16602, process description: 'xCATd SSL: mkvm to 
vm1 for root@localhost: esx instance' with error '
SOAP Fault:
-----------
Fault string: Current license or ESXi version prohibits execution of the 
requested operation.
Fault detail: RestrictedVersionFault' while trying to fulfill request for 
the following nodes: vm1 

I installed version 5.5 update 2 of the VMWare Perl SDK (as is required) 
and I can contact the server with this cli command:

> vmware-cmd -H esxihost0001.morgan.haib.org -l

The documentation only uses 4.1 as an example: 
http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/XCAT_Virtualization_with_VMWare/. What 
is the latest version of ESXi that xCAT will work with? If it does support 
5.5 do I need to configure some kind of key or license file locally? I 
already ran my variation on: chtab key=vmware passwd.username="root" 
passwd.password="cluster" for the xCAT passwd table.

Regards,
Josh Nielsen
