I have installed latest vmrun tools on Linux ( downloaded from vmware site).
I am using following command but getting this error "Error: The virtual machine is not powered on: [datastore1] blank_4/blank.vmx".
Command: /usr/bin/vmrun -T esx -h https://10.106.189.22/sdk -u root -p <password> stop "[datastore1] blank_4/blank.vmx"
stop command does not work even if VM is powered on. start command works but it hangs for quite a long time.
My VM is RHEL 5.8 and vmware-tools are installed. Other command like list are working so there should not be problem of firewall etc. All ports like 443, 22 are open on Linux.
ESX is 5.1 and vcenter is 5.0..
I noticed this error in vmware.log "2013-07-25T21:50:00.403Z| vmx| I120: GuestRpcSendTimedOut: message to toolbox-dnd timed out."
Any idea what can be reason?
