Hello all:
I have a problem converting some VMDK files generated from multiple snapshots(such as Windows 7.vmdk, Windows 7-000001. vmdk....Windows 7-00000x. vmdk) to a GHO files. I refer to the command line in the following link(
https://community.broadcom.com/symantecenterprise/communities/community-home/librarydocuments/viewdocument?DocumentKey=f9b93b72 -cb84-4c50-90db-1a8416f84be3&CommunityKey=e2fbb15e-15c3-430b-97f3-4871e488162b&tab=librarydocuments):
To convert from VMDK to GHO:
ghost32 -clone,mode=create,src=my.vmdk,dst=myimage. gho -batch -sure
My command line is:
ghost32 -clone,mode=create,src=Windows 7.vmdk,dst=test. gho -batch -sure
The command can be executed successfully, but this command cannot join multiple snapshot volumes such as "Windows 7- 000001.vmdk-Windows 7- 00000X.vmdk".
Is there a special command switch to join these volumes?In addition, I try to use "
-ad=Windows 7- 00000 1.vmdk",it prompt
"
Error Number: 40221Message: A virtual disk error occurred:Failed to open vmdk file: c:\users\vip\downloads\windows 7.vmdk"
My environment:
OS - Windows 7 ultimate SP1(x86 32)
Ghost 12.0.0.8006
VMware - Workstation (15.5.1 build-15018445)
The error log shows the following:
