  • You don't have access rights to this file

    Hello again everyone.

    I get an error using the example of application the VDDK (vix-disklib-sample).  I am using the SAN mode for the information on the disks, but I get this error message:

    Error: [vixDiskLibSample.cpp:599] d you don't have access rights to this file

    I am using the same machine that I used in my previous post: 1730997.  I will repeat them here:

    The command I used:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH = / usr/lib/vmware-vix-disklib/lib64. / vix-disklib-sample - info.
    initex - /root/.vmware/vix-disklib.conf - libdir/usr/lib/vmware-vix-disklib.
    -mode 'san' - 'moref = vm-13141' vm - ssmoref ' snapshot-13314' \ '.
    -welcomed the vcenter.company.com - user "administrator@company" - password "xxxxxx".
    "[VM-devices] vMA/vMA - 000001.vmdk'."

    I checked using MoB that those are references to managed object appropriate for the virtual machine and the snapshot (see my previous post).

    This is the machine I use it on:

    Processor: 2 x Xeon of Intel (r) CPU 5150 @ 2 .66GHz
    Memory: 3924MB (3331 MB used)
    Operating system: Ubuntu LTS 10.04.2

    Kernel: Linux 2.6.38.2 - candela (x86_64)
    Compiled: #1 SMP kills Mar 29 16:52:38 CDT 2011
    C Library: Library GNU C version 2.11.1 (stable)
    Default C compiler: compiler GNU C version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3 - 4ubuntu5)

    Version VDDK: VMware-vix-disklib - 1.2.1 - 323406.x86_64.tar.gz

    Think otherwise says may be something to do with the SAN mode, I ran vmware-mount to check that I could actually mount the drive in question.  I managed to mount the drive with the following command:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH = / usr/lib/vmware-vix-disklib/lib64 vmware-mount.
    v 'KS-PROD-data center/vm/vMA' h vcenter.company.com u 'administrator@company '.
    F /root/.password f ' [VM-devices] vMA/vMA - 000001.vmdk "/ mnt/test /.

    Anyone has any ideas of what this could be?  The error is a little vague...

    I've also attached the log output

    One thing you should be aware of: you will not be able to access a drive that is currently in use by the virtual machine.  If you have created a snapshot on a virtual computer running, you'll be able to get access to the base vmdk, but not for the instant vmdk.  This is because the instant vmdk - is in use, but the base is not the disc.

  • Could not open a file to VMDK using SAN transport using Netbackup 7.1 "you don't have access rights to this file.

    Hello

    I'm trying to backup VMware clients using Netbackup for VMWare 7.1 using the type of transfer to san, and the forum NBU told me that my vm-admin user has no right of access to the VMDK file. However, I checked and I can download the backup host VMDK files and take and remove snapshots as vm-admin user.

    The servers are configured as follows:

    vc01 is a Win2008R2 vSphere 5.1 Server

    ENC1-bl09 by enc1-bl12 are blades running ESXi 5.1

    VM-bak01 is a Win2008R2 NBU media server 7.1 server and is defined in NBU as backup VMWare host

    Data warehouses that contain the VMDK files for the guests are all about EMC and HDS storage accessible via the San by the NBU Media Server and ESXi servers (although mapped through different areas)

    ESXi servers have access to local data and NFS storage warehouses too, but none of these warehouses are used by clients.

    I could save a few guests we via NDB, but they finish in time because the network is not fast enough. Estimated time of 8 days for nightly backup!

    So I have to use a SAN to back up the guests, but he keeps fails with the error below...

    I can't attach documents to hotmail or my e-mail from work using Firefox. I have not tried another such search engine as suggested in other posts with similar but different questions. Yesterday a pop-up asked me permission for Firefox to access my documents and clicked on 'no '. I had never seen this pop-up request before if I didn't take the risk that it be a virus. A month ago I was able to attach documents to my email.

    Using Windows Explorer, I moved my documents from the folder 'libraries' to 'myfolder' under computer. Not sure if they had moved or if it was just a temporary solution of fluke, but I could send my documents successfully. There was malware that has been found through one of the links provided by an answering machine, but even if the malware has been removed, the issue has not been resolved.

  • "You don't have permission to access to" a computer - Windows 7

    Now, I have 3 laptops in my house.  We're on Windows 7 (let's call it W7) and two are on Vista (we'll call V1 and V2).  On my Windows 7, I can connect (via the network - all PC use the same Linksys wireless router) v1 without problem and see shared files, but I can't connect to V2.  I get the message "you don't have permission to access \\PCName."  Now if I put in place a different id user on W7, I can access the V1 and V2.  I need to stick with my original if possible user id, because this is where I've already implemented a large number of programs that I need for work.

    Any ideas on what could be going on with my original user id?  He worked two weeks ago, although I added a few programs as I finally tried access V2.  Thank you!

    You can 'stick with your original user "; just add it to the machine of V2. See point c below for more details:

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • vmrun deleteFileInGuest translates by "error: you do not have access rights to this file.

    Hello

    I have Workstation 7.1.2 build 301548, host VMW is Win7 64 bit and comments is Win7 64-bit.

    I tried using vmrun deleteFileInGuest command to delete a file read-only in the comments and get "error: you don't have access rights to this file", however, I was manully able to remove this file from the client. If I uncheck the 'Read only' property of the file, then I can remove it from the host.

    As I need to delete the file as part of my automation script, I was wondering if there is any work around?

    Thank you

    Eileen

    FWIW, I've played around with this for a bit and in the end the only way I could delete the target file's read-only attribute was actually write a program (rmroa.exe) that precisely does that.  Basically the program does that attrib r shell and pass the target of the file to remove the attribute of as an argument to the program.

    vmrun -T ws -gu  -gp  runProgramInGuest  'c:\test\rmroa.exe' 'c:\test\program\test.ini'
    

    In other words enforcement rmroa.exe in this way called attrib.exe r "c:\test\program\test.ini" including the read attribute only to rid of this file.

    As a test I have scripted the whole process of copy rmroa.exe from host to host and then executed it, removed the test.ini and then delete the rmroa.exe file.  Sometimes it takes just a little more to get the job done.

  • Try to restore the data file, get error 'you don't have permission to save in this location"in Vista

    I am new to Windows Vista, but relatively competent in older versions. I installed the software on my new desktop computer. I am the only user on this computer and I have administrative rights. I installed the software in the Program Files directory. In the software, there is a folder for the working data file. I now try to 'restore' my data on this new computer file so that I can start working. I get an error message that says "you don't have permission to save in this location. Contact an administrator. "I have considered similar questions on this site and followed the advice to take possession of the file without success. I also created a new folder on the D drive, thinking maybe Vista I just wanted to keep C clean, but it gives me the same message. I can't save to the folder I created. Any advice?

    Program Files is a protected directory. If possible you create the working folder for the data in your user account instead. Is it possible in the options of the program the program in a directory of your user account? Or, if you think that any other user you may need to use this program, you could create the directory Public. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Error: "you don't have permission to access this folder. ' Click on continue having access to this folder continuously ".

    Original title: cannot access files on a folder on the drive hard usb after you have turned off sharing on a network.

    About a week and a half, I have set up my external hard drive usb to share on my network domestic as well as my brother could access some files on his laptop computer.  I've been playing with the security of some of the files on the hard drive and made sure that he could not access some of them.  I don't remember exactly what I did unfortunately.  After I had changed the security access, I was still able to access all files and my brother could not access it.  He got the files on the hard drive and I turned off my computer.  A few days later, I tried to access the files that I had limited and I was stuck.  When I went back in the drive to recover some files, I received an error "you don't have permission to access this folder.  Click on continue to have access to this folder permanently. "When I click on continue that another dialogue box comes up saying"you refused permission to access this folder.  To access this file you will need to use the Security tab. "I click on the link to Security tab and another dialog box appears asking"to continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.  Do you want to continue? "I'm obviously the administrator because I have this computer and I'm the only account on it.  From this point, I don't know what I do or what I'm supposed to do to recover my files.  I played a bit with a couple of things and I was able to get into certain folders, but its an extremely long process that I don't have the time for.  A side effect of which in fact so I can see the files, is that for any movie file, I try to access it, I get an error.  When I try to open it with Windows Media Player, I get the error "Windows Media Player cannot access the file.  The file may be in use (which is not the case), you won't have access to the computer where the file is stored (which is not supposed to because the computer on which it is stored my personal computer), or your proxy settings are may not be not correct (what?). "If I try to use another program like VLC media player, I get a similar problem where an error comes up saying that it was impossible to access the file.  I can see the file and see the properties but I am unable to actually see the film.  I can't move the file anywhere because I don't have administrative rights.  I'm under Windows 7 Ultimate, and if someone could help me please, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Ridley,

    I see that this problem is old enough but you (or others) may have problems with it. Here's what I did:
    -Got to your hard drive and right click on the folder that is causing all the trouble.
    -Click on properties.
    -Click on the Security tab
    -Then click on advanced
    -You will see a window with a few user names. Now click on owner in the tabs above.
    -Click on edit, then select the user name you want to open the folder and don't forget to tick the box that says "Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects", then click on apply.
    A pop will come which says something like "You have replaced the property for the selected records" or something in this way. It worked for me and I hope this post is helpful for some people.
