ESXI 6 still support VProbe?

ghiotto86 — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 16:01:01 GMT

Hi all, just to know if anybody knows if vprobe is no longer supported in ESXI v6

All my scripts (working on ESXI 5 and 5.5) gives that message:

Failed to load script in vmkernel: script cannot be loaded, vmk domain is busy

Any idea on how to solve the problem?

Thanks.

On ESX(i).

Hi virtualirfan, maybe you're right. BTW i can instrument the vmm in order to intercept every file lock and change, for example, the flag value of the lock structure?

Hi, I wonder whether it is possible to access (read/write) a vmdk file of a specific running virtual machine from another running virtual machine, using Storage API. It exist a method to avoid the file locking?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot! I'm not a driver author. Where can i find that VMware driver guide? Is it possible, for example, to probe function calls related to a specific context, e.g. storage subsystem? Finally, vprobe allows to read (or maybe write) target variables at function entry point?

Hi virtualirfan, for example, in the context of esxi hypervisor, i need to intercept all driver API (vmklinux or native) calls related to a read/write syscall. Is it possible?

I'm reading the VProbe documentation, but consider only virtual machines instrumentation. Can i instrument the ESXI hypervisor, in order to intercept calls from/to VMkernel?
