CopyFilefromHostToGuest C# webservices or VIXAPI

sid101020203030 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:52:46 GMT

Hi,

Can any one help me to CopyFileFromHostToGuest using the Web Services in C#. Any sample code would be greatly appreciated.

I am using VIX PAI call VixVM_CopyFileFromHostToGuest. But this call seems to be not working corectly. The VIX API call only working when i specify the particular directory on th Host System and it is copying all the files in the directory to the destination. If I specify the particular file to copy it is throwing the error.

Thanks a lot for the Help!

How do I programmatically connect cdrom device on virtual machine in vmware server 2

rodaj — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:55:43 GMT

One of my collegues managed to figure out a way to perform the connection through the use of a sequence of vmware-vim-cmd invocations. First a list of vms is gotten grepping on the known name of the vm. Then a list of devices is gotten for that specific vm instance grepping on the cdrom. Lastly the device id for the cdrom is then used to perform the final command to connect the cdrom device.

vmware-vim-cmd vmsvc/device.connection <vmid> <device id> true

Note that the iso file name needs to be correct (really exists) or the device will still not connect.

Getting Virtual Disk state - persistent / non persistent

Yossian — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:32:48 GMT

Hi.

I need to check whether a virtual disk is in persistent mode or not.

no need to change it, just get the current state.

code is in C#.

I know how to get the power state and so, but never gone too deep.

if anyone can help with a sample or so, i'll be very happy.

Thanks !!

Jo.
