Could not import a VMDK file in ESXi

I am currently test ESXi to determine if we should use in our company.

I have a virtual machine running on a server ESXi, with the virtual machine stored on a NFS share. (Openfiler)

I had Openfiler take a snapshot of my virtual machine running. Like a scenario disaster, I tried to take the VM of the snapshot files and copy them back to another folder on the NFS share.

My goal was to see if I could get this "restored" virtual machine running I tried two things:

(1) select new virtual machine and poitning Creae tried for the VMDK in my new file, but even thought the file was there, and the extension was correct, that he did NOT appear in the window "Browse the data store", coudnlt.

(2) I tried to look through the data store manually (Configuration& gt; Storage& gt; NFS volume), and I tried right-clicking on the 'restored' vmx file The option 'Add to inventory' wa clickable, but when I did, the virtual machine imported as 'Unknown 1 (invalid)' and it cannot be turned on.

Any suggestions? I saw during an attempt to import VMDK in Vmware Server ESXi, people have similar problems, but I'm on the server SmSAME, SAME SAN storage. I just took the snap-snap-shotted VM and copied it to a new folder and tried to mount it as a separate virtual machine.

Thanks for any help!

No doubt seems to be a permissions issue.  Can you check on your NFS server, and make sure that the ownership of these files are the same as the previous record, as well as the files themselves?

  • Could not import the .fla files

    Good evening friends,

    I can't import the files flash adobe flash professional cs6. The message I get is:

    "One or more files could not be imported because the problem occurred during the import"

    I need quick help.

    Thank you in advance.

    Fortunately, that said asymmetric is not correct, as well not be what you were asking about.

    You can open any FLA of CS5.5 or later, in any version, CS5.5, or later. At this time they did the files be future-proof. New feature does not work and could lead to problems, but the file should open ok.

    But back to what you asked, you would never import a FLA, then don't means you that you try to import a SWF file? They are sovereign, there's a number of Flash Pro version where the ability to import SWF has been removed. Not sure if including CS6. Nowadays you can import SWF files, but you wouldn't get the ActionScript code.

    If the SWF file is set to be protected, then that would also lead to errors. You are much better if you can find the original Florida

  • Could not import a video file that works when you export my project as a .air file

    I am trying to create a project to be exported to a .air file which will include videos.  This file will be required to work offline so add a streaming video it with Adobe Media Server is not for me.  Video files in Animate must be linked and play (with no internet access) of the file.

    I tried to import files video .mp4 to the project but they do not seem to be visible when I export.

    I did some research and it seems to work only with the help of .flv / .f4v files (which I cannot make out Adobe as they removed this option now).  I tested this theory with a .flv file and it seems to work correctly (with the exception of my massive chronology!)

    Anyone know a way around this or could suggest that I could hurt?

    It seems strange that Adobe would rename Flash to animate and then do not working not not with all other files outside of la.flv/.f4v which they now won't let go.

    Hello

    Import of video H.264 in Animate is a design-time only feature that allows you to use videos as a guide to sync your animation on the stage. However if you want to embed the video in the output, please convert your videos to flv or f4v using Adobe Media Encoder CC (7.2).

    You can still install Adobe Media Encoder CC (7.2) by installing Flash CC option PREVIOUS VERSION creative cloud - download and install Adobe Creative Cloud applications

  • a VMDK file is not recognized as vmdk file in esxi

    For some reason strange esxi is not recognizing my vmdk format vmdk file. He sees it only as a normal file. And when I try to turn on the virtual machine, I get an error indicating that the vmdk file is not a valid file.

    It seems that you (or someone else) changed the header vmdk file manually. Otherwise it would not exist a file 'vmdk.old '.

    Go to the command line (on the console or ssh) and check that the content of the header vmdk file is correct. If you need help, please send the header as well as the file ".old" file to see what has changed.

  • Could not import the bookmarks file large

    I recently bought another computer on Windows. I installed Firefox and tried to import my bookmarks (html) file. I could only import files into my favorites and nothing else. Then I open my file of bookmarks in Firefox and bookmarks I want are still there. The bookmarks file is 15.8 mb in size. Do I need to split this file and, if so, how could I do?

    Thank you!

    If you still have the old computer, you can try backup .json (using the backup instead of export). With the new system, restore the .json file.

  • Could not import the KFP file

    Hello

    We are not able to import the KFP file that has the version 13 in Acrobat Pro 11 / 10 / 9.

    Can someone suggested how to import files KFP who has version 13 in Acrobat Pro 11 / 10 / 9

    You should be able to import .kfp files created in earlier versions of Acrobat Pro preflight in the later versions of Acrobat Pro before the flight, but not vice versa. For example, if you create a custom preflight profile in Acrobat Pro 11 and export the file .kfp of preflight, you should be able to correctly import this file .kfp in the preflight in Acrobat Pro ms. You can not export files from Acrobat Pro DC .kfp and necessarily import successfully in earlier versions of Acrobat Pro.

    Acrobat Pro DC-exported .kfp files are compatible with the Callas pdfToolbox 8. Callas pdfToolbox 8-export .kfp files invoking checks or corrections not in Acrobat Pro Preflight DC are not compatible with Acrobat Pro DC.

  • Could not import the flash file in presenter

    I am running presenter 7.0 in PPT 2007. Other than the problem I have with a video file flash, it seems to work correctly.

    I created a flash video in Captivate (it is a demonstration of the short software), and I want to integrate it into a presentation using Presenter. But when I select "insert a swf file" tab in Adobe Presenter, I never have a chance to select the swf file I want.

    I expect a file at this point selection dialog box. Instead, I went to Internet Explorer and more, nothing happens.

    The flash file works fine as a stand-alone running in Internet Explorer.

    Is "Insert a swf file" the right way to add this video? Is there a better way to incorporate this Captivate video?

    A dead end I tried already: I looked at the description of the problem ' video import failed. Adobe Presenter 7.0.7', but this is not my problem. I'm running (not 7.0.7) 7.0, and the registry key mentioned on the Adobe Presenter support site (TreatFLVCheckWarningAsError) is not present on my computer.

    Thanks for your help.

    OK, I recommend all first that inquire through the Adobe update 7.0.6 or 7.0.7 via the download available to the public at http://www.adobe.com/products/presenter/.

    As for your question to import the flash file, if you use Captivate 5 or 5.5 he published in AS3 (ActionScript 3) only, and presenter 7.0.0 - 7.0.6 is an AS2 application. Therefore, your Captivate SWF files will not work in presenter. So, if you use Captivate 5 or newer, you must go to introduce 7.0.7 to SWFs to work.

    The problem you describe seems to me that you are working on a PPT file located on a shared drive. Presenter do not work with files that are not on your computer and will tend to not show the Insert Flash, video or Audio dialogs if the presentation is on a shared drive.

  • Could not import the flv file in first Pro CS6

    Hello

    I just tried to import into prime Pro CS6 but I get:

    "The file has a compression type not supported."

    I saw a post on a forum where someone changed the extension .avi and it worked for them.  Is not for me.

    I saw another post on this forum for Media Encoder allows you to change the file type.  When I try to import into Media Encoder I get "the compression of source type is not supported."

    We use a webcam to record and wants to do the FLV format because if the computer dies, he saves the file at this point where other formats is not the person who made the recording (at least this is what he told me).

    Any suggestions are welcome.

  • Could not import the video file in Photoshop 12, import and export are grayed out

    Try to import the video into the newly installed executives Photoshop 12 on Macbook and import/export options are grayed out. How can I change this?

    Photoshop elements has never had to file > import > video frames to layers.

    At the same time, until the versions a little backward, there is file > import > frame of video, but it was only able to make a frame at a time and the service has since been removed from photoshop elements.

    > Why is it better to have the project files on an external drive?

    It is best to have your operating system and the applications running a disc, your source media read on the other, and written to another export your files. In this way, the hard drive doesn't have to jump around to read and write from several different locations at the same time essentially.

    There are many tips to improve performance here, including a response to your question about proxies.

  • Window Movie Maker will not import a mp3 file get that a C: {file location} .mp3 error could not be imported

    OP: Window Movie Maker will not import an mp3 file. Why?

    I tried to imort a song from my music file which is in mp3 format, but the program won't. She won't tell me why, it just says: "C: {file location} .mp3 cannot be imported."  I imported 2 other songs that are the same exact format. Why is it cant import the file?

    Hello spardigus,

    1 - is the full error you get when you try to import the file?

    Some of the Mp3 files can be compressed in various formats. I suggest that you search information below and check out them if you are able to import the files.

    It might be possible that the file may be corrupted and is not readable by Movie Maker. I suggest that you copy the file to a different location on your computer and you are trying to import.

    Also check the size of the file. If it shows 0 bytes, there are good chances that the file may be damaged.

    I suggest that you try to convert this file to avi format using an Audio Converter. There are several converters which helps you convert the file in the required format. Convert the file and try to import.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find the program that will help convert the files.
