Troubleshooting notes:

• VIX API 1.6 is required for this software to function. 

• VIX_Virtuozo_Service Windows Service must log on as a user with permission to create a custom Event Log as well as have access to protected shares (CIFS) defined throughout the configuration of each host and guest.

• SAMBA is required for VMware hosts running Linux.

• VIX 1.7 is NOT stable to work with Server 2.0!

Hello everyone.  I am currently having a really strange issue when trying to configure Vix Virtuozo on my VMware 2.0 server.  I am able to get the CIFS status to pass but when I go to connect to the host it gives me an error "Unable to connect to host.  The specified datastore is not valid".  I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work (eg. checking permissions, setting up a share...etc) with no luck.  Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you kindly.

Joe.

Hi Joe:

Is VIX 1.6 installed on the box that Virtuozo is on ?

Is 10.10.10.10 the same box as the Virtuozo box?  If not then the location of datastores.xml and inventory.xml need to be shares ( \\10.10.10.10\c$\etc\etc.xml)

It is the same box.  And yes, I have VIX 1.6.2 for sure.
