Developer: Virtual Disk Development Kit

Hello everybody.

I have little question: How should I use this function to create virtual disk on ESX server?

What machine I have to specify in connection parameters? What exactly path to the disk have to be?

I have machine with moref 256 registered. It has path "[datastore1] Ubuntu/Ubuntu.vmx"

All goes fine, but function  VixDiskLib_Create() return Error code 3 with text "One of the parameters was invalid".

My code:

char tempStr[MAX_PATH];
VixError vixError;

 

StringCbCopy(VixConnectParams.serverName,24,"192.168.1.240");
StringCbCopy(VixConnectParams.creds.uid.userName,21,"login");
StringCbCopy(VixConnectParams.creds.uid.password,128,"password");
VixConnectParams.port = 902;
VixConnectParams.credType=VIXDISKLIB_CRED_UID;

 

StringCbCopy(tempStr,MAX_PATH,"moref=256");

VixConnectParams.vmxSpec=tempStr;

 

vixError= VixDiskLib_InitEx(1,
                                         0,
                                         NULL,
                                         NULL,
                                         NULL,
                                         NULL,
                                         NULL);
if(vixError!=VIX_OK)
      return false;

 

vixError= VixDiskLib_ConnectEx(&VixConnectParams,
                                                   false,
                                                   NULL,
                                                   NULL,
                                                   &VixConnection);
if(vixError!=VIX_OK)
      return false;

 

VixDiskLibCreateParams createParams;

 

createParams.adapterType=VIXDISKLIB_ADAPTER_SCSI_LSILOGIC;
createParams.capacity=536870912;
createParams.diskType=VIXDISKLIB_DISK_MONOLITHIC_SPARSE;
createParams.hwVersion=VIXDISKLIB_HWVERSION_CURRENT;

 

//opening disk
vixError=VixDiskLib_Create(VixConnection,
                                         "[datastore1] Ubuntu/test.vmdk",
                                         &createParams,
                                         NULL,
                                         NULL);
if(vixError!=VIX_OK)
{
     char *r=VixDiskLib_GetErrorText(vixError,NULL);
      return false;
}
