Im getting the unextpected arguement encountered error when trying to mount a vmdk file with mountvm
Here's my syntax:
mountvm -d E:\VMbackups\Friday\SVR4\scsi0-1-0-Production Terminal Server.vmdk -sysdl -cycleId E:\VMbackups\mnt
I also have a question about vcmmounter.
This syntax gives me both file server vmdks and base server 2003 vmdks. I just want the file server VMDKs. The base os is on disk1 while the data I want is on disk2. Is it possible to just take a snapshot of disk2?
vcbmounter -h 192.168.1.250 -u **** -p **** -a ipaddr:192.168.1.246 -r e:\vmbackups\wednesday -t fullvm -m san
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Since the VMDK name contains spaces you need to enclose it in double quotes.

Thanks a lot thats exactly what I was doing wrong. Im still confused on how I can just take a snapshot of disk 2 instead of both with vcbmounter.
vcbmounter -h 192.168.1.250 -u **** -p **** -a ipaddr:192.168.1.246 -r e:\vmbackups\wednesday -t fullvm -m san
This syntax does both disks. Can you point it to just one?
AFAIK the only option to prevent a snapshot of one disk is to set the disk to independent-persistent.
This however will disable all snapshots of that disk, not only vcb related ones.
I'm not even sure if vcbmounter can handle that scenario.
Shoot thats not what I wanted to here. Disk 1s data rarely changes and disk 2s does daily.
