  • 1.  PSCoE runCommandInGuest not working since 8.18.1

    Posted Dec 05, 2024 07:23 AM

    I have been using the runCommandInGuest module from PSCoE for a while now. However, since the update to version 8.18.1 this no longer works.

    My workflow now fails with the following message:
    Error in (Dynamic Script Module name : runFunctionWithRetry#12) Could not create folder under guest at '/tmp'

    In the vmware-vmsvc-root.log of the guest system (no matter what, I've tested several Ubuntu and Debian systems) I always see the message:
    [2024-12-05T09:48:27.472Z] [ message] [vix] [3149] VixTools_ProcessVixCommand: command 178

    Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? In older Orchestrator versions (8.17 and 8.18.0) it works with the same guest operating system without any problems.
