ShinobiLayer: VMware ESXiのAPIが稼動しているかどうかの確認方法

1. はじめに

VMware ESXiはVMware APIというものを提供しています。実は、SoftLayerで提供されるVMWare ESXiも、このVMware APIにibmvmadminユーザーでアクセスして稼動情報を取得しているようです。この記事は、VMware ESXiのAPI Interfaceが稼動しているかを確認する方法をお伝えします。

2. 稼動確認方法

wgetで確認可能。10.117.1.130はVMware ESXiに割り当てられているPrivate側のVMKernel PortのIPです。
オプションは随時省略して下さい。この例ではちゃんと200番が返ってきていますね。
