Hi,

I'm using vixDiskLibSample program provided with Windows VDDK to open a child disk and getting following error. Any suggestions what is wrong here?

Thanks,

Rajesh

I think -single is what is causing the trouble, try without it.

Thanks

Opening a remote child disk as single link does not work. Please file an SR if you have a TAM.

Thanks

Opening delta files does not work for me either:

I use VixDiskLib to open vmdk files. That works for parent vmdk with both read and single. I can also open delta vmdks with read permission, but it fails with VIXDISKLIB_FLAG_OPEN_SINGLE_LINK

What is the status on that? Can we expect to fix that soon? Or is it an issue? Should we file a SR too?
