Hi,
Im using VIX api to create snapshot. Im doing in the following way...
1. delete the snap if already snap is available. So it merges the data's in flat.vmdk file and the changes will added in *delta.vmdk file.
2. Now creating new snapshot.
3. downloading snapshots except *Delta.vmdk and *.vswp files and logs files.
4. copy to some ESX environment.
5. MAchine is added succssfully.
But when i try to power on it says unable to find the file specified. when i check the *00001.vmdk file the CID and parent CID values are same. The values are same as the CID value of vmdk file. i.e unique CID is not created for the child vmdk file. So i have to edit the vmx file and chnge the line *.00001.vmdk to *.vmdk. Now the machine is powered ON successfully.
It happens to different guest os. My questions are 1. Why unique CID is not created foer child vmdk and am i doing anything wrong...
Please need answers
Thanks in advance
