Hi,
I was trying to get some hands on with vmware-mount (shipped as part of VDDK 1.2.1) on SLES-11-SP1-32bit and finding some issues.
The following is the command that has been executed
vmware-mount -v <DataCenter>/vm/<VM-Name> -h <VC-Host> -u <User-name> -F <PWD-file> "[DataStore] <Path-to-vmdk>" <mntpoint>
When I execute this command for a VM which is shutdown we get the following error messages
/dev/loop0 looks like swapspace - not mounted
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'
Failed to mount partition 1 of disk '[DataStore] <Path-to-vmdk>' on '<mntpoint>': The virtual disk does not have any partitions that the host system knows how to mount
When the machine is powered on we get the following error messages.
Failed to open disk: The file is already in use (70403103916047)
Failed to mount disk '[DataStore] <Path-to-vmdk>' : It is not safe to mount the virtual disk. It may be attached to a suspended or powered-on VM, or it may be inside a snapshot chain.
The machine where the mount command is issued is a SLES-11 32 bit – SP1 machine with kernel version 2.6.32.12 and the guest VM being mounted is a SLES-10, 32-bit
Can someone let me know how to get this binary executed successfully.
Also what are the supported file systems for the mount operation.
