Re: Unable to accessing VMDK files of Windows 2012 Guest os with VixMntApi. (VMDK files of other guest OSs are working fine)

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your reply.

I have already tried with the R/W mode open for VMDK files of other guest OSs(Not Windows 2012).

We have faced some difficulty in R/W mode open.,i.e in my implementation i will need to do the below things

1.Mount and list the files inside the VMDK

2.Search the files/folders inside VMDK

3.Copy the needed files/folders from VMDK,Dismount the VMDK file.

If the application crashes before 3rd step.,We will not be able to Dismount the VMDK file and we will not be able to mount the vmdk file again.

But the READ_ONLY mode open is working fine in all scenarios(we will be able to mount the VMDK file again).

How to handle if the application crashes before 3rd step with the R/W mode open?

I have already posted in the forum about the above problem(http://communities.vmware.com/thread/438208).

Can you please give your suggestions on this.

Thanks

Manickam
