How determine the size of the flat.vmdk when all you have is a delta

I need to find a way to determine the face of the virtual disk size parent but all that I've got a delta.vmdk

the original descriptor of the delta.vmdk wiped white
No logfiles, the vmsd vmsn files or similar there are other sources

all I have is the *-delta.vmdk

any ideas?

Here is what I get when I add the delta file to a new virtual machine and the new vmdk. Size in the descriptor of the new vmdk and fixed delta.vmdk, the CID, VMX etc.

Open "/ vmfs/volumes/8798ec34-05faf745/junk/ladybug1-000001.vmdk" (flags 0 x 8, type vmfsSparse).
2011 04-05 T 22: 58:42.045Z | VMX | DISKLIB-VMFS: VmfsExtentCommonOpen: truncation realSize (?) as much as possible is 16777216, size in 40226760 descriptor.

40226760 is correct. The 16777216 is the size of the new empty vmdk.

  • deleted all vm outside the flat vmdk files - recovery?

    In a moment of madness I accidentally tried to remove a virtual machine from a data store. All updated files other than the flat vmdk file then deleted... It is not a critical system, but I still prefer to retrieve by using the existing if possible vmdk file. Since it is a flat file without descriptor I can not simply use it as basis for a new virtual machine, then how would you go to get it? In my view, a provisioning was not used, so should I just copy on a linux machine, it mount it and copy the relevant files or I can pick it up in esx - i?

    Edit: I should probably add that I know the exact size of the disc, but when I try to create new disks I can't manage to get split into flat vmdk / basic (with an idea of just using the new disks for the old descriptor)

    Take a look at sanbarrow.com for some details on this kind of issue, but basically, you can follow this process

    (1) create a new virtual machine with the same disc than the old size.

    (2) copy the file descriptor on file with just the file flat.vmdk left.

    (3) change the descriptor file (hard) and update to point to the old file flat.vmdk.

    (4) allowing the VM.

    (5) change the new virtual machine and delete the virtual HD.

    (6) copy the old file to the new folder VM with vmkfstools.

    (7) to change the new virtual machine and add a file of existing (using the new copy) drive.

    (8) to turn on the virtual machine.

    But before that, you can you

    1) check for us if the virtual machine still works

    (2) post a list of the folder where the virtual computer files were (with the-l option to show the size of the file).

    (3) can you tell me what VMware product and version are you using?  I guess ESXi 3.5 but it would be preferable to confirm.

  • How install the vista upgrade when disc is destroyed?

    Computer vista of my son had the virus and tanked. Best Buy said computer necessary, new drive hard as former disc destroyed.  Then Best Buy said they needed vista install disk to the new disk.

  • Where is the *-flat.vmdk file?

    We have a pretty basic setup with run vm bit at the moment.  ESX 3.5 update 4 clinging to an iSCSI san.  I have install on ten VM and used almost all the flaws on them except for the size of the disk and memory.  I'm a bit puzzled as to why I can't see the file SERVERNAME - flat hard in the directory of the virtual machine on the SAN.  While browsing the vm files, I can see all other files associated with each virtual machine, just none of the flat - files.  Can someone explain to me why this is?  Should I see them there?  They are there and I can't see them?
