Greetings:
I have an issue with connecting to the esx hypervisor from my guest Vm. The purpose of the connection is to obtain host related information (like network, devices etc).
I am not sure what is it that rejects the connect at the server side, and what i am missing.
I am running lib0.7.5, i have libvirtd running on guest-vm.
The host ESX has the ip address a.b.c.d.
Any thoughts?

I tried to use uri like: esx://a.b.c.d/, esx://a.b.c.d, esxi://a.b.c.d/system etc. They all give same issue.
Thanks.
