Hey,

It seems like the VDDK 6.7 releases were built wrong. When trying to use it with openSUSE Leap 42.3 (SLE 12 SP3) and CentOS 7 (RHEL 7), I get errors using the code due to missing libraries.

I ran "ldd" on some of the provided libraries, and I noticed that "libvixDiskLib.so.6.7.0" (among others) links to a lot more libraries than older versions did, including OpenSSL 1.1, which is not available on these distributions.

It seems like VDDK 6.7 needs to be rebuilt on Leap 42.3/SLE 12SP3 or CentOS/RHEL 7 so that it'll work properly.

Hello,

using some examples provided by vmware, i'm able to mount a remote vmdk disk to Windows Drive Letter but i can't find a way to mount it to a Windows folder..

Tried with:

- SetVolumeMountPoint

Where can i find the GUID of vstor2-mntapi20-shared symLink device?

- DefineDosDevice

No success mounting to a folder

Is there a way to mount the vstor2 device to a folder?

Thanks,

I am using cgo wrappers in golang to make calls to vddk. The disk open call seems to be occasionally failing with the error :

Received unexpected message: NFC_SESSION_COMPLETE from server. Expected message: NFC_FSSRVR_DISKGEO

If I retry the call after waiting for some time, it generally succeeds. Sometimes, I see that it does not succeed even after 3 retries.

Any idea what could be going wrong ? I am using the latest version of VDDK ( 6.7.1 - build 0362358 )

I was able to create vddk and obtain information locally.

./vix-disklib-sample -create sample.vmdk
./vix-disklib-sample -info sample.vmdk

But it will fail for remote host.
Is there anyone who knows what is causing the problem ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am trying to deploy a vm using deploy_ovf.py and this script throws the following print on the console. The vm is created and launched successfully, however i am not sure if the print is a error/warning or something that should be worried about. Also i have kept other logs in the script, but looks like the print comes as and when _main is triggered. Any input here would be of great help.

The script is similar to the one in the following link, with slight modifications to add extra parameters.

Hi,

I am trying to get the transport mode(SAN, HOTADD, NDB, etc) for each disk in the VM. Before I do so, I need to check if I can eliminate any of the transport modes before opening the disk. I was able to crack the logic to confirm that the mode for HOTADD by checking if it is a Virtual Machine and by checking if the disk is SCSI, but I am not able to crack the same for SAN. So I figured if I can get if the datastore is ISCSI/physical datastore, I can find a way to confirm that the mode is SAN mode.
I need to know if there is a way that we can find out the datastore is ISCSI(Physical Datastore).
I have searched all over but couldn't find a trace.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask my question, so if not please advise how I can get help.

I am installing VMware-Player version 14 (also tried version 15) and I am using the free version since this is only for personal use.

I am installing the app on Win 10 64 bit PC with more than enough free space. I double clicked on the app and it seems to install okay but then when I try to open it I get an error message, see below.I would appreciate any help or detailed installtion instructions.

Thank you!

Hi,

While searching for more information I found the Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) Program page on VMWARE website.

This is unclear to me. Please explain whether there is any compulsory fees to pay in order to use the VDDK API for developing COMMERCIAL or FREE Backup and Replication Software for VMWARE vSphere ESXi.

Thanks.

For example, you can not disconnect a disk if you colud not communicate with esxi.

Does something wrong happen if I did not close a disk ? Will esxi destroy a disk's session later ?
