Hi,
well thank you for taking the time to look into all this. Great work indeed and we all miss things one time or another.
I have 1 more questions(there is always 1 more, right?) would I be able to take multiple snapshots with the vix api against a vmware server product giving the snapshots different names or would it always take 1 snapshot overwriting the existing snapshots
below is the full listing of the code which causes the segfault, it pretty much came out of the docs. I haven't started doing anything complex yet.
#include "stdio.h"
#include "string.h"
#include "vix.h"
static VixHandle hostHandle = VIX_INVALID_HANDLE;
static VixHandle jobHandle = VIX_INVALID_HANDLE;
void VixDiscoveryProc(VixHandle jobHandle,
VixEventType eventType,
VixHandle moreEventInfo,
void *clientData)
{
VixError err = VIX_OK;
VixHandle vmHandle = VIX_INVALID_HANDLE;
char *url = NULL;
// Check callback event; ignore progress reports.
if (VIX_EVENTTYPE_FIND_ITEM != eventType) {
return;
}
// Found a virtual machine.
err = Vix_GetProperties(moreEventInfo,
VIX_PROPERTY_FOUND_ITEM_LOCATION,
&url,
VIX_PROPERTY_NONE);
if (VIX_OK != err) {
// Handle the error...
goto abort;
}
printf("\nFound virtual machine: %s\n", url);
abort:
Vix_ReleaseHandle(jobHandle);
Vix_FreeBuffer(url);
}
int main()
{
VixError err;
// Connect to specified host.
jobHandle = VixHost_Connect(VIX_API_VERSION,
VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_SERVER,
"vmserver1", // hostName
902, // hostPort
"root", // userName
"password", // password,
0, // options
VIX_INVALID_HANDLE, // propertyListHandle
NULL, // callbackProc
NULL); // clientData
err = VixJob_Wait(jobHandle,
VIX_PROPERTY_JOB_RESULT_HANDLE,
&hostHandle,
VIX_PROPERTY_NONE);
if (VIX_OK != err) {
// Handle the error...
goto abort;
}
Vix_ReleaseHandle(jobHandle);
printf("\nLooking for running virtual machines");
jobHandle = VixHost_FindItems(hostHandle,
VIX_FIND_RUNNING_VMS,
VIX_INVALID_HANDLE, // searchCriteria
-1, // timeout
VixDiscoveryProc,
NULL);
VixJob_Wait(jobHandle, VIX_PROPERTY_NONE);
Vix_ReleaseHandle(jobHandle);
VixHost_Disconnect(hostHandle);
abort:
printf("Aborting\n");
Vix_ReleaseHandle(jobHandle);
VixHost_Disconnect(hostHandle);
}
