vmci problem

[voodooRod]

Has anyone out there been able to actually get the vmci datagram sample to actually work?

I'm failing on VMCIDatagram_CreateHnd(0); After initializing the vmci device, I'm to make the createhnd call. It returns with the value, VMCI_INVALID_HANDLE. Does anyone know what could cause this failure?

I know the VMCI is "experimental," but if no one has actually gotten the samples to work, then why release it and have folks waste time. I hope that my frustration isn't true, and that the vmci does work.

thanks,

Rod

I've been able to get the VMCI datagram sample to work on windows and linux.

Which linux operating sytems have you been successful with. I'm working with ubuntu, and the library is failing to load. (See Failed to init VMCI library.)

thanks

Which product are you using and are your Tools installed from that product?

The VMCI user-level SDK has been deprecated in Workstation 6.5 and instead we now offer the VMCI Socket interface. Please see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws65_s2_vmci_sockets.pdf for more information about VMCI Sockets.
