VMware RCLI – Where Is resxtop For Windows? x64 Linux?

After such great luck with the Windows version, I found a few things. First was that resxtop was not included in the Windows bundle. Which lead me to the second:

/tmp/vmware-rcli-distrib$ ./vmware-install.pl
This version of "VMware VI Remote Command Line Tools" is incompatible with this
operating system.  Please install the "x86_64" version of this program instead.

Execution aborted.

Least, it’s honest when it tells me it doesn’t like me, or more likely doesn’t like Ubuntu 8.04 LTS x64.

I did however have better luck with the appliance, and got resxtop up and running. Look!

Now that is pretty cool. I’ll have to see what else I can do with this.

    The perl toolkit part of the rcli (for linux anyway and probably for windows) is 32 bit. Once you extract the files, replace the 32 bit perl toolkit tar file with the 64 bit and then run the installer.

  • A nice work around. Would be nice to see something from VMware as well.
