from the man page ...

fence_vmware_soap  is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the
virtual machines managed by VMWare products that have SOAP API v4.1+.

... v4.1+ ... you have "plain" 4? Don't even know if the version is
directly related to ESX version, but looks "suspicious" to me ;-)

hth - regards,
Andreas
