It can be because you're session isn't authenticated (session was killed or you never properly authenticated with a login call before sending in that SOAP packet). It could also be because you're not...

Universally unique, probably not. The BIOS UUID is usually sufficient, except when the vendor doesn't provide enough dmidecode data as specified. But even then, it is possible to change the BIOS...

How are you getting the SearchIndex object moref? Do you get it from ServiceContent or do you make it yourself?

Hi. Thanks for reply. I'm calling RetrieveServiceContent and get service instance then provide its SearchIndex property as _this to find methods. Should I created myself by using new soapvar? Regards
View ArticleRe: Getting ServerFaultCode exception when trying to get refrance to a VM
No, you should use the moref provided by ServiceContent. That error is usually the result of not having the right moref, or using a moref from a different session. Do you have your sample SOAP to review?

View ArticleRe: Getting ServerFaultCode exception when trying to get refrance to a VM
The property 'searchIndex' of ServiceContent is the moref. Just checked, SearchIndex is not session specific, so you're safe there. I think you'll need to post some of your code to get any better...

You may need to use the SoapVar method to generate the _this for the FindByInventoryPath call, that's the likely cause just from a quick glance. You could also have the SoapClient output the...

Actually a good point, I don't think it's called out directly in a single property. You'll probably have to get the VirtualMachineSnapshot object, and look at it's configuration at that point in time...
