PowerPath 5.7P02 will not install remotely via VMware CLI
PowerPath/Virtual Edition (VE), VMware vSphere 5.0 U1: PowerPath/VE will not load with VMware CLI
Previously on 4.1 this worked via VMware CLI from a remote Windows Server and connecting to the ESXi 4.1 host.
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin>esxcli -s..
[ValueError]
Only server local file path is supported for offline bundles. (c:\EMCPower.VMWA
RE.5.7.P02.b003.zip) seem to be remote URIs.
Please refer to the log file for more details.
So, is there no longer the ability to install the package from a remote Windows host or is it required to first be copied locally to the host??
Please help.
Thanks

Hello and thanks for the response.
Yes, we are trying to install PowerPath via remote vCLI, and yes it is still supported. Yet, it is NOT supported via the old method of retaining the package / zip file on a remote server ( Windows ) in this case.
VMware stated that it is now necessary to have zip package, vib files local to either a datastore the host can seee or local file system of the vSphere host.
Make sense?

Hi! If you are trying to install PowerPath via remote vCLI, that is still supported. Check the PowerPath/VE 5.7 Install and Admin guide on Powerlink. The information starts on page 59.
