I am learning about how to ues probes. When I was testing the dynamic probes , I got a problem.(defstring device) (vprobe GUEST:0x7c00 (printf "Executing boot sector!\n")) But there was an error:invalid static probe : GUEST：0x7c00. And obviously I was using a dynamic probe, but the cmd told me that that is a static probe.I was confused. Please help me .

Hello, I have a vmware datacenter and i have try to mount a disk from a source linux machine (vpnssllog) to another linux machine (webapplnx) the OS version on this machines are the same. i create a scripts and i run it: root@webapplnx:~$ vi vmMount.sh #!/bin/bash export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/vmware-vix-disklib/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" host="vceprdwin.corp.scmgroup.com" user="administrator" passwdfile="/root/vmpwd.txt" part_no="0" mount_dir="/mnt/xxx" img_path="[rimini_prod_vmfs_cml3850_03] vpnssllog/vpnssllog.vmdk" inv_path="SCM Group Rimini\vm\webapplnx" vmware-mount -v "${inv_path}" -u "${user}" -h "${host}" -F "${passwdfile}" "${img_path}" "${part_no}" "${mount_dir}" root@webapplnx:~$ root@webapplnx:~$ ./vmMount.sh Failed to open disk: The virtual machine cannot be found (4000) Failed to mount disk '[rimini_prod_vmfs_cml3850_03] vpnssllog/vpnssllog.vmdk': Cannot open the virtual disk root@webapplnx:~$ I take inv_path from the MOB (name field) and img_path from Edit settings of the virtual machine.

I am trying to use VProbes with VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows Vista SP2. When I create two VProbes using two back-to-back invocations of vmrun.exe, only the second probe takes effect: the log contains a few entries from the first one (for example, Guest_IRQ), and then contains only entries from the other (for example, Guest_PF). vmrun vprobeLoad %VMX% "(vprobe Guest_IRQ (printf \"%s: 0x%08x\n\" PROBENAME (getguest RSP)))" vmrun vprobeLoad %VMX% "(vprobe Guest_PF (printf \"%s: 0x%08x\n\" PROBENAME (getguest RSP)))" When I create two VProbes in a single invocation of VProbes, only the first probe listed in my argument takes effect: the log contains only entries from the first (for example, Guest_IRQ) and none from the second (for example, Guest_PF). vmrun vprobeLoad %VMX% "(vprobe Guest_IRQ (printf \"%s: 0x%08x\n\" PROBENAME (getguest RSP))) (vprobe Guest_PF (printf \"%s: 0x%08x\n\" PROBENAME (getguest RSP)))" How is a Windows user supposed to get two of these to coexist? Lastly, I want to mention that this would be a LOT easier if I could just write a script file for this and pass it into vmrun.exe.  Instead, I have been using Windows NT Command Scripts (.CMD files) and carefully experimenting to detect and fix quoting issues.  I see that fixitchris has been running around the same issues.  Eventually I'll probably break down and install cygwin and/or the vprobe-toolkit, but that seems really unnecessary--I mean, how hard is it for you to make vmrun.exe memory map a file and point its parser to the resulting buffer instead of using command-line arguments?  Superficial criticism aside, this tool has gained me two very valuable insights in as many days; props for adding it and providing usable documentation. -M.

Hi all, I'am facing an issue with a thinapp application wherein i have successfully built my msi from package.ini and installed it as well but when i launch one of the shortcuts i get an error message saying that the java2 runtime was initialised but there was an error loading the main class, and the application can not be started. I started fixing he problem by installing some java related registries locally but still the error pops up .. can any one suggest something.. thanks..

Hello, I tried to run the following example of the VProbes VMware Workstation 7.0 manual: ;Print the saved Linux command line for 32 bit Linux. (defstring command_line) (definteger saved_command_line) (vprobe VMM1Hz (setint saved_command_line (& 0xffffffff (getguest "saved_command_line"))) (getgueststr command_line saved_command_line) (printf "Linux command line (at %#x):\n%s\n" saved_command_line command_line)) I have gather the kernel symbols file (/proc/kallsyms) and put it in $VM_DIR/symbols. I have also included the following lines in $VM_DIR/Ubuntu/Ubuntu.vmx: vprobe.enable = "TRUE" vprobe.guestSyms = "$VM_DIR/symbols" Finally, I have added the line 'vprobe.allow = "TRUE"' to /etc/vmware/config. When I run the example above I get: vprobeLoadFile: error: guest symbols not supported vprobeLoadFile: 0 warnings, 1 errors Error: Unknown error When I replace "saved_command_line" with its address from the kernel symbols file, I get: vprobeLoadFile: error: getgueststr requires 3 args vprobeLoadFile: 0 warnings, 1 errors Error: Unknown error I would like to know how to solve both problems. Please let me know if you have any advice for me. Thanks! Best, --Jiri
