I have tried to run the same script on Fedora11 and CentOS 5.4.</DIV> <DIV>I get the same result on both systems. I have googled this issue, which returned a possible issue with not having libvirt-bin installed.</DIV> <DIV>The libvirt on both systems are from the original installation of the OS for each system. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have tried to install the latest libvirt on both systems and have not been able to install it due to gnutls not being found, which is a whole nother discussion. Please advise as to what I might be doing wrong and or what arguements I need for the ESX connection.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV>Bill </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></html>
