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 :

This utility mounts VMware virtual disks under Microsoft Windows.
Use "VMware-mount" without arguments to list the currently-mounted volumes.

 

  /d    deletes the mapping to a virtual drive volume
  /f    forcibly deletes the mapping to a virtual drive volume
  /v:N  mounts volume N of a virtual disk
  /p    displays the partitions (volumes) on a virtual disk
  /y    open the virtual disk whether or not a snapshot is in effect
  /n    do not open the virtual disk if a snapshot is in effect
  /?    displays this usage information
