iLOREST no longer works in ESXi 8

[astroprogs11]

Running ilorest through ESXCLI always returns an error:

This issue persists in v6.0.0 as well.

Running ilorest directly from "/opt/ilorest/bin/ilorest.sh" in ESXi 8 works with no issues, just not through ESXCLI.

Running ilorest both directly and through ESXCLI in ESXi 7 works with no issues as well.

This is fixed in ilorest 6.1

[astroprogs11]

This is fixed in ilorest 6.1

Now ESXCLI returns error:

iLORest return code: 149

This is on latest ESXi version 8.0.3 - Build 24784735

Please check in iLORest 6.2

[astroprogs11]

Please check in iLORest 6.2

It freezes for ~5 minutes, then returns the same error.

@astroprogs11 , We are in the process to fix it. Btw, ilorest 6.3 component can be tried to confirm the issue
