Cannot issue the open disk

Hi all

I have ESXi installed on our server. I received a few VM folders with our test WHAT VM inside our office in europe. Using the vSphere Client I downloaded the files for the virtual machine for the farm data store, but when I try to start the virtual machine, I get one:

Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx/VM_files/BASE_VM_xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/theapparentlymissingfile.vmdk ' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
The system cannot find the specified file.

I have gone through the forums here and on Google and tried several of the corrections proposed such as the removal of the. VMDK.lck file. There was another who proposed changing the vmx file and change the name of the file that is the same as the one I had.

The file is there, but for some reason, he doesn't see it. y at - there something I am missing being new to VMware. I have to start from scratch, if I can't get these working locally.

Thanks in advance

You can download the http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1023856 tool (see "Accessories").

To convert the virtual disk to an ESXi supported format run

VMware - vdiskmanager.exe - r 'Digipos book PC SP1.vmdk' t 4 "Digipos book PC SP1 - new.vmdk.

then download the two newly created files ("Digipos book PC SP1 - new.vmdk ' and Digipos book PC SP1-new - flat hard') on the ESXi host and change the settings for the virtual machine, i.e. to remove the bad virtual disk and add the right pair.

Please be aware that the resulting virtual disk will have a size of 40GB.

      Thank you

      It looks that it is locally partitioned index, so "alter index" will not work without a partition name. But you can try simply

      DROP INDEX FORCE;

      If this does not work, try to restart the database and repeat the index fall. Do not use FORCE unless you have to.

      If it still does not work, you will need to login as SYS and run

      ctxsys.ctx_adm.mark_failed ("", "")

      that resets any clue to 'FAIL' status and allow to delete the index (even once, do not use FORCE unless you have to).

    9. Cannot add the Flash disk

      Hello

      I came into work this morning to find one of our servers in a State that won't start plu.

      This virtual server is hosted on an ESXi 3.5.0 123629 server with two data warehouses.

      The following error occurred when trying to start the server.

      Please check that the path is valid and try again. Cannot open disk 'path to the file DEVSQL1_1 - 000001.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: The system cannot find the specified file.

      When you browse the data store, I could see the vmdk file.

      I learned later that the DEVSQL1_1.vmdk file has been moved to the another data store.

      Unfortunately, at this time, I removed the hard drive that was pointing to the file - 000001.vmdk if I could add a new hard disk that points the moved file from DEVSQL1_1.vmdk.

      Server started the first pop, except that the data stored on the disk problem are old.

      At this point, I stop the server and moved the DEVSQL1_1.vmdk file to its original location. Then, I removed the disc newly added and tried to add a hard drive pointing to the original DEVSQL1_1 - 000001.vmdk. When you do this I get the error "object reference is not set to an instance of an object" and I am unable to go further.

      When open the Snapshot Manager, I am unable to see relating to this disk snapshots.

      Anyone know how I can join the DEVSQL1_1 - 000001.vmdk disc in order to start the server and also have access to current data?

      Thank you very much

      Glen

      Glen - I don't think we should use this DEVSQL1 - 000001.vmdk snapshot

      I have no evidence that it has been used in the history of this virtual machine.
      It does not fit to the size of its parent disk.

      Do you remember if DEVSQL1.vmdk has been developed in the history of this virtual machine?

      Edit the vmx and change

      scsi0:0. FileName = 'DEVSQL1 - 000001.vmdk ".
      TO
      scsi0:0. FileName = "DEVSQL1.vmdk".

      It was also the State used when the machine virtual last started successfully.

      Honestly, I was a little surprised when you found this DEVSQL1 - 000001.vmdk

      You have an idea about this?

      After editing the vmx file the VM must start - when starting carefully inspect the condition = if it is out of date turn off directly.

      I doubt you'll see an out-of-date status - but if the first disk is expired I must expand the snapshot - that would be a bit strange

    10. Cannot find the boot disk

      End 2012 17 "iMac with 1.12 GB Drive El Capitan Fusion running.  When I turn on the iMac, I get a black screen with white text that tells me to insert the bootable disc.  If I press the Option key while powering and I select the Macintosh computer hard drive starts very well.  Any ideas what is happening or what I need to do to solve the problem?

      Sounds like something crashed. See if you can boot to the recovery (command-R on startup) Partition and select disk utility and then run First aid. If you cannot start the recovery partition, chances are that the player broke down.

    11. Cannot resize the virtual disk, the virtual machine by using a «child» vmdk file

      Release: VMWare workstation 9

      SE host: Windows 7 64-bit

      Screenshots below.

      I want to resize my VM from 50 GB to 100 GB.

      It seems that VMware workstation 9 uses a child for my VM vmdk.  In my case, using its "Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 - 000001.vmdk" for its virtual disk file.  The correct file should be "Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk", I think.

      There are currently no snapshots registered for this virtual machine, I see.

      The virtual machine works well as is, but I can't resize the disk without the VMWare gui, saying I should be perform the operation on the parent vmdk file.

      It seems that I do run a snapshot that is not really a snapshot?  How to merge with the older files - Sxx.vmdk to 0000xx - Sxxx.vmdk

      I also tried to use the command line tool to manually resize the vmdk parent, but I get permission "access denied" errors.

      Kind regards

      He no snapshots are displayed in the Manager of snapshot with the check box 'Show AutoProtect snapshots' verified then the snapshot is an orphan and the best way I use normally to fix this if I want the contents of the snapshot of orphan to be among the basic disk is with tab of the virtual machine in VMware Workstation GUI closed I simply delete the .vmsd file and then open the virtual machine tab in the VMware Workstation GUI and cover and immediately remove a snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.  This will force the orphan snapshot to merge with the parent disk.  Then to clean I still remove the .vmsd file and orphans, .vmsn and .vmem file.

      Note: Before the procedure you have a good backup of the virtual machine in case you accidentally mess something up.

      Is there anyway I can fix this? All I can download etc to do this?

      Thanks heaps

      Hello

      If you n t find the recovery disk more and you want to restore the original settings, ask an authorized service provider. Guys can put in order a new disc of recovery for you.
      You have the address of the guy?

      Alternative, you can also sell the laptop without recovery disks. Just wipe the HARD drive before selling it with the HARD drive like s boot cleaning tool Darik and nuke or some other program.

      But I think you get a better price if it comes with recovery disks ;)

      Then it stops it of self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start, so I did the repair boots back to the top and still says I need to fix and can't find anything wrong and carries on in this circle.

      I thank everyone in advance.

      Happy new year :)

      Hello

      Well, I think that it of really difficult to say what is the reason. Maybe the recovery disk is noisy or the files corrupted it.

      At the moment, I can t imagine what it s a hardware problem because other windows drive work properly.

      In your case, I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc and then see what happens. If it works properly and that you can install all drivers & tools you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

      If you try to install your laptop computer with the Microsoft installation disc, you need the SATA drivers. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
      You must load the drivers of an external floppy drive or you integrate into a new CD with nLite (www.nliteos.com).

      For the recovery disc you n t need these drivers because they are already on the disk.
      If you get the same problem with the recovery disk, you should check your disk with Drive Fitness Test (Google is your friend).

      Hi all

      I want to perform a Toshiba product recovery, using the partition on the HARD disk. I did it before and no problem.

      But when I press F8--> computer repair--> selection language--> then I have to select a user (Administrator / my name/guest) when I select the administrator, it says that my account has been disabled, when I select the user with my name (Kenneth) he continues to the menu where I can choose the different options for recovery. If I select the product Toshiba blah blah thingy a screen comes up saying it can't find 01 HARD drive. I did nothing with the partition containing Vista.
