The tutorial discuss the use of GNS3 software to run Cisco Virtual IOS (vIOS). Cisco vIOS is shipped and supported as a part of the Cisco's One Platform Kit that is distributed in form of virtual machine.It might be downloaded with Cisco.com account.
Hi,
I've tried everything. I'm trying to start a virtual machine from command line with no success. (windows server 2003 sp2 with Vmware Server 2)
The command I'm running is:
>vmrun.exe -T server -h https://192.168.0.200:8333/sdk -u myuser -p mypass start 'F:VirtualMachinesvm1Windows XP Professional.vmx'
I get an error: Cannot open F:VirtualMachinesvm1Windows XP Professional.vmxThe virtual machine cannot be found.
I've also tried using the datastore
>vmrun.exe -T server -h https://192.168.0.200:8333/sdk -u myuser -p
mypass start '[Virtual] vm1/Windows XP Professional.vmx'
With the same error.
I'm sure about the vmx route and location, the VM starts perfectly from the web UI.
The only thing i can notice is that everytime I run the comand I can see a new line in the Tasks log on the web ui that says:
'Find virtual machine by datastore' with success.
So I guess the virtual machine was found but the vmrun command has always the same error.
I've included the vmware server route to the windows PATH, tried to run with many users, roles, permissions, tried all but nothing working..
I would appreciate any sugestions please,
Thank you very much for your time
Regards.
Esteban.
