Not able to reboot VM

Hi All,

I am beginner and recently started using pyvmomi module.

I tried to follow scripts available in sample folder and wrote simple script which will reboot the Virtual Machine. The code is mentioned below:-

import atexit

from pyVim import connect

si = connect.SmartConnect( host="ESX-HOSTNAME", user="USERNAME", pwd="PASSWORD", port=443)

atexit.register(connect.Disconnect, si) content = si.RetrieveContent() vm = si.content.searchIndex.FindByDnsName(None, "VM-NAME",True) if vm is None: print "Unable to locate VirtualMachine." else: print "VM Name : {}".format(vm.name) print "VM instanceUuid : {}".format(vm.config.instanceUuid) print "VM ipAddress : {}".format(vm.guest.ipAddress) print "VM hostName : {}".format(vm.guest.hostName) print "VM powerState : {}".format(vm.runtime.powerState) vm.RebootGuest()

But when tried to execute it, I am getting following error at list line of above script

Traceback (most recent call last): File "powercyle-vm.py", line 24, in vm.RebootGuest() File "/apps/python/2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyvmomi-6.5.0.2017.5_1-py2.7.egg/pyVmomi/VmomiSupport.py", line 580, in self.f(*(self.args + (obj,) + args), **kwargs) File "/apps/python/2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyvmomi-6.5.0.2017.5_1-py2.7.egg/pyVmomi/VmomiSupport.py", line 386, in _InvokeMethod return self._stub.InvokeMethod(self, info, args) File "/apps/python/2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyvmomi-6.5.0.2017.5_1-py2.7.egg/pyVmomi/SoapAdapter.py", line 1366, in InvokeMethod raise obj # pylint: disable-msg=E0702 pyVmomi.VmomiSupport.HostNotConnected: (vmodl.fault.HostNotConnected) { dynamicType = , dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], msg = 'Unable to communicate with the remote host, since it is disconnected.', faultCause = , faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [] }

Please let me know any suggestion/help to resolve this issue.
