ESXi Scanner fails with VMWARE Scan failed, Error -1

[stefanbrun]

Hi,

i tested today the ESXi Scanner on 3 Hosts and a vCenter Server.

I receive on all Systems the Error VMware: Scan failed, Error Code -1.

for the ESXi host i'm using the root access.

for the vCenter i use the SSO User Administrator@vsphere.local.

is there something i miss?

Thx Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your message.

Please confirm that you can access these assets using the browser on the computer where TNI is installed (by entering their IP addresses).

i can access these assets via the browser and the IP. I receive a HTTPS error (Not Secure) but accesing it work fine.

Please download this test version to the TNI installation directory.

Run this file directly instead of the tni.exe file and try scanning the ESXi servers. Let us know the result.

[stefanbrun]

Now the ESXi Servers works.

vCenter has the same error as before, error code -1.

Thanks for your feedback.

Regarding the scanning of vCenter, we'll need additional information to analyze the problem. Please contact us via email at support@softinventive.com for further instructions on how to generate the scanning error report.

Unfortunately there was a miscommunication during testing. We've now rechecked and it turns out that VMware vSphere is currently not supported in Total Network Inventory. We have now made plans to implement this functionality, but the exact date is unknown.
