Hi,
Im using vix api to create a snapshot of guest os. After creating snapshot i try to download the snapshot files to remote machine without power off the guest os . But the problem is *flat.vmdk files are locked by ESX server when the guest os is powered ON. so im unable to download 'flat.vmdk files. Can any one tell me is there anyway to unlock that file and make it free to download?. OR is the any vmware commandline tools to do this?
NOTE: I want to do this operation without power off the guest machine as well as with out renaming or moving the vmdk files.
its very urgent. Please help me.
Regards,
Ilavaa
