Issues with PowerCLI (PowerShell 64-Bit) with PhotonOS 3.0 on Raspberry Pi 3

I was recently experimenting with latest Photon OS 3.0 for the Raspberry Pi 3 and wanted to get PowerShell and PowerCLI running. I found that for the current release of PowerShell, only the 32-Bit image has been published, I found that the upcoming 6.0 Preview 3 includes the 64-Bit version of PowerShell. Once I got that installed, I was able to launch PS on PhotonOS but I hit another issue when trying to connect to VC/ESXi endpoint with the following error: The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.

I've also tried running Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore but that had no effect.

In any case, below are the instructions in case anyone else was interested:

Step 1 - Install PhotonOS 3 on rPi3

Step 2 - Install required packages

tdnf -y install tar icu libunwind unzip wget

Step 3 - Download PS 6.2 Preview 3 (64-Bit) for rPI and latest PowerCLI 11.1 release:

wget https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v6.2.0-preview.3/powershell-6.2.0-preview.3-linux-arm64.tar.gz
wget https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/9948998f-1f64-4f4a-856b-f43f1a158980/8f94ba7b-efeb-4009-bc47-613e9e95fbed/VMware-PowerCLI-11.1.0-11289667.zip

Step 4 - Run the following commands to setup PS and unzipping the PCLI module:

mkdir ~/powershell
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/powershell/Modules
tar -xvf ./powershell-6.2.0-preview.3-linux-arm64.tar.gz -C ~/powershell
unzip VMware-PowerCLI-11.1.0-11289667.zip -d ~/.local/share/powershell/Modules

Step 5 - Launch PS by running:

powershell/pwsh

Step 6 - Attempt to connect to VC/ESXi endpoint using Connect-VIServer cmdlet:

PS /root> Connect-VIServer -Server 192.168.30.200 -User administrator@vsphere.local -Password VMware1!
Connect-VIServer : 1/20/19 6:37:32 PM	Connect-VIServer		The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.

Below is the InnerException and Stacktrace, not sure if these help ...

PS /root> $error[0].exception.InnerException

The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.

No project file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the PowerShell and PowerCLI setup on PhotonOS 3 for Raspberry Pi 3, then run Connect-VIServer with and without Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore. Done means the SSL failure is explained and a verified compatibility fix or documented limitation is provided.
