Hi, I'm using vprobes in VMware Workstation (10.0.1 build-1379776). I am using a dynamic probe to monitor for a guest write on a specific memory address. My script is taken from the example: (vprobe GUEST_WRITE:0xb8000 (printf "Write to VGA text RAM.\n")) However, the problem is that I have an error when I try to vprobeLoadFile the script. vprobeLoadFile: error: Unrecognized characters ':0xb8000' in probe 'GUEST_WRITE:0xb8000' vprobeLoadFile: 0 warnings, 1 errors Error: Unknown error I have tried many different addresses after GUEST_WRITE, but I always get the same error: "Unrecognized characters". Also why is there only a Guest_CR3Write and not Guest_OtherRegister here? Like rax, ldtr, etc.

Guys, I have a doubt it would be possible to create an executable that can communicate with vmware and capture all ip's used in the vm's? If yes would have some example or some material to study? I found this here: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/ But I did not know that research properly because I did not find anything. Pessoal, Tenho uma duvida seria possível criar um executável que consiga se comunicar com o vmware e capturar todos os ip's usados nas vm's? Se sim teria algum exemplo ou algum material para estudo? Achei esse aqui: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/ Mas acho que  não soube pesquisar corretamente pois não achei nada.

I have client server program that written in c# . It works fine in a physical server but when i run the server in a Virtual machine it stop working after a moment . I put my source files Can any body please Help me

We are working on a project that analyzes datacenter utilization and decides how to optimize VMs. We just released our VMware data collector. The data collectors continuously gets utilization data from your VMs and sends the data to our server. The data you provide will help improve our modeling and optimization engine. We only collect block box VM utilization metrics and we have no idea what is running in your datacenter. If you would like to participate, our data collector can be found here: http://cloubrain.com/download.htm

We are having the Linux psuedo block driver and we want to port it for ESXi. Basically this intercept the write requests and replicate the data. Question is that : I have downloaded the ESXi source and shall i modify the block driver source code to my need ? Is it permited by VMware? What i am thinking is that modify CCISS driver for my need. Please someone can help me in this regard. thanks

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie who's trying to compile some sample codes from the SDK. I followed the steps in the Devloper's Setup Guide PDF, but Im still missing reference to AppUtil... I generated 4 dlls: Vim25Service2010, Vim25Service2010.XmlSerializers, VimService2010 and VimService2010.XmlSerializers For example there's a program named VMCreate in the smaples folder, and it uses AppUtil. Any help will be appriciated. Thanks, Dan.

Just wanted to check what the status of vprobes is. I think it might be useful to me, but I see there haven't been any updates in 8 months, and I don't want to learn it if there's something else I should be learning, or if it's going to go away. I also saw reference to it in ESXi 5.1 but there's no documentation referring to compatibility with that. So should I learn this for my ESXi box? Thanks Jack
