My question is hos to I use PHP / SOAP calls to enable Lockdown mode? The ESXi host is controlled via a vCenter Server and I'm able to connect to the system and perform other tasks.
Hers a quick snippet:
| $soapmsg['this'] = new soapval('_this','SearchIndex','SearchIndex'); | |
| $soapmsg['dnsName'] = "esxi1"; | |
| $soapmsg['vmSearch'] = "false"; | |
| // $result2 = $client->call('FindByIp',$soapmsg,$namespace); | |
| $result2 = $client->call('FindByDnsName',$soapmsg,$namespace); |
This works fine. Just to test my code I run the following.
| unset($soapmsg); | |
| $soapmsg['this'] = new soapval('_this','HostSystem',$result2); |
| $soapmsg['timeout'] = 10; |
$result3 = $client->call('ExitMaintenanceMode_Task',$soapmsg,$namespace);
-----------------
Now when I runs the next piece of code it fails.
| $soapmsg['task'] = $result3; |
$result4 = $client->call('EnterLockdownMode',$soapmsg,$namespace)
-----------------
This is the error I receive when I execute the query.
host-78 <= This is good .. It found the ESXi host
----------
task-81060 <= This is good as well . It tried to take the ESXiout of Maintenance mode.

Has anyone had any luck with using the EnterLockdownMode method???
