vixDiskLibSample 6.0 program dumps core at VixDiskLib_Open call (line 642)

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to ESX server (6.0) using vixDiskLibSample program provided with vixDiskLib (v6.0) running

on RHEL 6 update to date x64. Program runs fine until connection is created, but dumps core while executing

VixDiskLib_Open call at line 642.

I saw a similar issue with vixDiskLib 5.2 in the forum, but here, It works fine with a previous 5.5 version.

I looked the strace output and I didn't see a problem to find libraries such as libssl. Any idea to solve this issue?

Thanks

The command does not contain the ssmoref and transportmode, so it will just use the connect() call rather than connectEx().


. Provide the VM moref and snapshot moref


. Instead of /dev/null, give out the path to the config file.

Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

From what we can see, the system is now using ConnectEX, but end up with the same problem at the same place (the backtrace is identical).

Do you know if it's possible to have a VixDisk sdk with some debug symbols?

When calling the program under strace, we see that the problem might come when loading ssl certs, I wonder if it's not an other libssl problem...

write(1, "Log: VixDiskLibVim: VixDiskLibVi"..., 98Log: VixDiskLibVim: VixDiskLibVim_GetNfcTicket: Get NFC ticket for [datastore1] rhel6/rhel6.vmdk.

) = 98

open("/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt", O_RDONLY) = 7

read(7, "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIID"..., 4096) = 4096

read(7, "ycJYgBugl6H8WY3pEfbRD0tVNEYqi4Y7"..., 4096) = 4096

...

close(7)                                = 0

open("/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

open("/etc/pki/tls/cert.pem", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0} ---

+++ killed by SIGSEGV (core dumped) +++

It looks to segfault before some actual connection (no socket created).

From what I can see in the strace file, the program is loading the libssl included in the SDK

open("/usr/local/lib/vmware-vix-disklib-6.0/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.1", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4

Thanks,

Best Regards
