Hi everybody,
I've installed VMWare server 2.0 on a amd64 based pc under GNU/Linux Debian 5.0 with 2.6.26-1-amd64 kernel.
When i try to browse datastore in VMWare VI client 2.0, i've got the "Exception of type Vmomi.Fault.InvalidArgument was thrown", and nothing is displayed in the Datastore browser.
When this occur, i've got " GetParameters failed for method search: Not initialized: boolean fileOwner" in /var/log/vmware/hostd.log
I've try multiples things, like change datastore owner, change vmware user (actually root), change rights on datastore, declare another datastore, etc...
Linked to this, when i try to "Add Virtual Machine to Inventory" in mui, it is loading infinitely...
I have searched on all ressources on the web include this community forum but it seems i'm alone in this situation.
If i can help, i've also got this errors :
'Proxysvc Req00006' 1081608528 warning] PendingServerStrm: server read-initiate error: Bad file descriptor
'App' 1078045008 error] An error occurred while loading configuration "/usr/lib/vmware/settings",not all entries are being read. It is strongly encouraged that you manually inspect the file and fix any corruptions.
