VixDiskLib_Clone() Error

Hi,

I am working in a project using VDDK API. I have been able to Connect, Open, Read and Write to VM virtual disks using VixDiskLib. But I have a problem using VixDiskLib_Clone() function to copy a vdisk. I have defined this function:

public static bool Clone(vixDiskSourceVixDisk, string SourceDiskPath, vixDisk TargetVixDisk, string TargetDiskPath, VixDiskLibProgressFunc ProgressFunc)

{

VixDiskLibCreateParams CreateParams = new VixDiskLibCreateParams();

CreateParams.adapterType = VixDiskLibAdapterType.VIXDISKLIB_ADAPTER_SCSI_LSILOGIC;

CreateParams.capacity = 20 * 2048;

CreateParams.diskType = VixDiskLibDiskType.VIXDISKLIB_DISK_MONOLITHIC_SPARSE;

CreateParams.hwVersion = vixDiskLib.VIXDISKLIB_HWVERSION_WORKSTATION_6;

IntPtr clientData = (IntPtr) null;

ulong ulStatus;

ulStatus = vixDiskLib.Clone(TargetVixDisk.VixConnHandle, TargetDiskPath, SourceVixDisk.VixConnHandle, SourceDiskPath, out CreateParams, ProgressFunc, clientData, true);

if (ulStatus != 0)

{

string msg = vixDisk.GetError(ulStatus);

return false;

}

return true;

}

If I define Target Server as blank "" to copy to local and call Clone() I get error: "invalid parameter was supplied"

TargetVmdkPath = @"C:\Users\Alberto\Desktop\vddk\test.vmdk";

TargetServer = "";

TargetVmxPath = "";

TargetDatacenter = "";

TargetDatastore = "";

TargetUser = "";

TargetPass= "";

TargetPort = 0;

If I define Target as ESX I can Connect,Open, Read.. disks in that ESX with Connect(), Open(), Read(). But when I call Clone() I get error: "Cannot connect to host" (17179887184) and I get this log in ESX hostd.log:

}

Failed to send response to the client: Broken pipe

I have imported the function in C# as:

public static extern System.UInt64 Clone(IntPtr dstConnection, string dstPath, IntPtr srcConnection, string srcPath, out VixDiskLibCreateParams vixCreateParams, VixDiskLibProgressFunc progressFunc, IntPtr progressCallbackData, bool overWrite);
