Hey, I am trying to Copy files into a VMWare image hosted in ESX using VIX (C# Wrapper around the COM API), but I can't quite get it right.
Conceptual Something like:
IVMWareVirtualHost host = new VMWareVirtualHost();
host.ConnectToVMWareVIServer("172.18.19.69", "ESX Admin User", "ESX Admin Password");
IVMWareVirtualMachine virtualMachine = host.Open("[Storage1] Image/Image.vmx");
virtualMachine.PowerOn();
virtualMachine.WaitForToolsInGuest();
virtualMachine.LoginInGuest("Administrator", "ILoveOMSIS!1234");
virtualMachine.CopyFileFromHostToGuest("C:
temp
File.txt", "C:
package
File.txt");
And it fails at the last line with "INTERNAL ERROR: A file was not found"...
The File exists Locally, Casing is corrent and the "C:\package" folder exists in the Guest.
Host System: ESX 4.0
Guest System: Windows XP
Client System: Windows 2003 server
(Client System refers to the system where I try tu run the commands and vmrun.exe
After trying to find some help ect on the web, I went to "vmrun" and tested a command that used to work with the "VMWare Server"
vmrun -T server -h https://localhost:8333/sdk -u "Local Admin User" -p "Local Admin Password" -gu "Guest Admin account" -gp "Guest Admin password" CopyFileFromHostToGuest "[Standard] Image/Image.vmx" "C:\temp\file.txt" "C:\package\file.txt"
changed to:
vmrun -T server -h https://172.18.19.69/sdk -u "ESX Admin User" -p "ESX Admin Password" -gu "Guest Admin account" -gp "Guest Admin password" CopyFileFromHostToGuest "[Storage1] Image/Image.vmx" "C:\temp\file.txt" "C:\package\file.txt"
Both Works just fine...
So what am I'm doing wrong in the code?
