Re: VixDiskLib_PrepareForAccess always returns 1 or 20

Hi intripoon,

moRef=XXXX is not clear to me. What should XXXX be?

To get a better understanding of Managed Object References == MOR == moRef please referer to the following articles:

• http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/02/uniquely-identifying-virtual-machines-in-vsphere-and-vcloud-part-1-overview.html
• http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/02/uniquely-identifying-virtual-machines-in-vsphere-and-vcloud-part-2-technical.html
• http://www.doublecloud.org/2011/06/managedobjectreference-vs-managedobject/

To get a better understanding of the Managed Object Browser == MOB please refer to following docs:

• http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.wssdk.pg.doc/PG_Appx_Using_MOB.20.1.html

If this is wrong, could I get a complete example of how to fill the VixDiskLibConnectParams structure for calling this method?

An example of connect params which is working fine at my end:

    VixDiskLibConnectParams connectParams = { 0 };

    connectParams.vmxSpec = "moref=vm-1234"; // wher you have to replace 1234 with what you see in your MOB

    connectParams.serverName = "192.168.0.1"; // or the FQDN of your server

    connectParams.credType = VIXDISKLIB_CRED_UID;

    connectParams.creds.uid.password = "yourPassword";

    connectParams.creds.uid.userName = "yourUserName";

    connectParams.port = 0; // let library choose default port

Hope this help :-)
