Hi,
I am trying to mount a vmdk file from a remote instance. The ESXi is 4.1.0,348481. The command I am uisng is as follows :
vmware-mount Q: "[storage1\] BLR-VMS-NETMON/BLR-VMS-NETMON.vmdk" /i:ha-datacenter/vm/BLR-VMS-NETMON /h:10.80.8.51 /u:root /s:password
the other commands I have tried include
vmware-mount Q: "[storage1\]BLR-VMS-NETMON/BLR-VMS-NETMON.vmdk" /i:ha-datacenter/vm/BLR-VMS-NETMON /h:10.80.8.51 /u:root /s:password
vmware-mount Q: "[storage1\] BLR-VMS-NETMON/BLR-VMS-NETMON.vmdk" /i:ha-datacenter/vm/BLR-VMS-NETMON /h:10.80.8.51 /u:root /s:password
vmware-mount Q: "[storage1] BLR-VMS-NETMON/BLR-VMS-NETMON.vmdk" /i:ha-datacenter/vm/BLR-VMS-NETMON /h:10.80.8.51 /u:root /s:password
The vmdk does not get mounted and I get the help contents being displayed. The VM instance for that vmdk file is not running.
the output of the windows is :
