UPDATE: Free ESXi and the RCLI

Duncan Epping · Dec 16, 2008 ·

I just had a chat with several people of VMware about the fact that the RCLI is read/write as of ESX 3.5 Update 3. As it turns out, these new APIs were opened up unintentionally. This unintentional change happened when VMware was resolving an API-related bug.

My VMware contacts tell me that this bug will be fixed shortly. So, do not get used to them because they will become restricted again. This only applies to customers who downloaded the free version of ESXi. VirtualCenter and VI (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise) customers are not affected.

    Aww. Come on. I thought the QA guys would get their act together after August 13th.

    I should think that if the Q&A manager wasn’t already fired back in August, he’ll be gathering his stuff in a box right now..

    Oh no that is so sad! šŸ™ I was hoping this was the last nail in the coffin for hyper-v as a branch office platform but now we’re back at zero.

    Extremely interesting. I like the way you write. Do you currently have an RSS feed?
