  Solved! I don't know why but the import of virtual machines with 5.1u2 ESXi, heads, and sectors in *.vmdk file are reversed:

  BEFORE:

  ddb.geometry.biosHeads = "16".

  ddb.geometry.biosSectors = "255".

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "16".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "255".

  AFTER:

  ddb.geometry.biosHeads = "255".

  ddb.geometry.biosSectors = "16".

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "255".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "16".

  Connect to a host with SSH and editing *.vmdk file with VI will be the virtual machine starts without problems!

• Unable to reduce the virtual disk (Linux RHE 5.4) with converter standalone 4.0.1

  I recently did a V2V with VMware Converter 4.0.1 to move a virtual machine running Linux Red Hat Enterprise VMware Server 2.0 on ESX 3.5 5.4.

  I was surprised to be unable to change the size of the partition. I have a 20 GB partition but only 3 GB is used. So I would reduce it to have a 5 GB partition.

  How can I change the size of partition? I know with Windows, it works well, why with Linux can not do the same?

  Thank you

• Unable to expand the virtual disk?

  When you try to extend a hard disk with vmkfstools, I get this meesage:

  Impossible to extend the drive: device or resource busy (1048585

  If I use the customer VI to extend the hard disk (only occurs with this particular drive), there are completed successfully, but no change? I'm going down this same result with vm

  I have esx3.5 VC2.5 U2 and should be able to do it while its still works.

  AY ideas would be most appreciated.

  There is overhead when you extend and you don't have enough. Not for snapshots. I would like to get busy working on a movement since you have not much room for anything whatsoever on that LUN.

• Unable to connect to the virtual disk Service, Virtual Disk Manager Interface not registered

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on this laptop as a new installation about six months ago.  Since then, I don't think I ever ran diskmgmt.  Today, I joined a new external hard drive usb, it reported the drivers installed fine, but then the installation bombed at the beginning.  I went to verity, what had happened and has run diskmgmt.msc (as an administrator), but she came back with the message "Unable to connect to the virtual disk Service" and also a small OK msgbox appeared with the title "Virtual Disk Manager" and the "Interface not registered" message

  I disconnected the USB hard drive and tried again diskmgmt, but no change.

  I restarted in safe mode, tried diskmgmt, but no change.

  I ran sfc/scannow, but it has reported that it found no errors.

  I checked that the virtual disk service has been configured as a textbook in services.msc, and event viewer showed that when I ran diskmgmt he started VDS and then stopped VDS.

  I tried again, but still not like before.

  Is there some dll I can't regsrv32?

  Is there a chance to run ls-lisa from the command line (SSH) in the virtual machine folder and provide the output!

  I ask because I'm a little worried about the timestamp of the hard (May 2011). Depending on the size of the files in the snapshot, it seems that the second virtual disk is not really used by the guest operating system and we could come back manually (by editing the .vmx file) on the resized basic disk (100 GB compared to 75 GB for snapshots) without losing important data!

  If you want to revert manually,

  • delete the virtual machine of the inventory
  • backup and then edit the .vmx file (replace "WEBPDMAPPD_1 - 000003.vmdk" with "WEBPDMAPPD_1.vmdk")
  • Move 3 snapshots in a directory temporary sub
  • Add the virtual machine to inventory
  • create a new snapshot to prevent the current hard files to be modified
  • Turn on the virtual machine

  If everything works as expected, you can delete the snapshot files moved and remove the snapshot created in the Snapshot Manager again.

• Instant restore: the virtual disk parent has changed since the child has been created

  Buenos dias,

  A worm if someone is ha sown con este problema y me can echar UN cable.

  Al trabajar con una maquina virtual en local con el disco en un disco external depuradora, to me broken instant crear of the United Nations (por el disco local creo en lo disgrace).

  Al use esta Máquina in casa, arranco perfectly, claro, pero sin los datos del snapshot.

  Hoy al arrancarla in the oficina ha generated a conflict: "the virtual disk parent has changed, since the child was creates," ha detectado what ha modified the virtual machine after ultima grabación del snapshot, no permite arrancarla.

  Could eliminando el solucionarlo snapshot, pero no puedo perder todo lo as he ido generating information.

  Alguna idea?

• Problem with a VM server: "the virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created.

  Hello!

  I have a problem with a server that does not start.

  We had a virtual machine running on VMWare Infrastructure 3 with two hard drives and an instant backup of them.

  This machine has been removed from the inventory, but when it has been recreated, the secondary hard drive is mentioned for the basic-disk vmdk
  instead of being referenced to the instant vmdk and used for a few days.

  All changes made after the snapshot, were kept in the delta snapshot file, which is not loaded.

  We are with difficult to reference the secondary disk for the snapshot file. We tried to edit the .vmx and hard disk files
  to correct the CID made reference, but when we try to start the virtual machine, we got this error:

  "The virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created.

  I think it happens because we made a blow-up of a secondary drive a few weeks after the backup snapshot. We spent 30 GB to 50 GB.
  And because it has been referenced and used in another vm.

  *** Log is attached

  Thank you

  Bruno.

  It is a bad sign

  next step in the usual forest is to use "testdisk" since a LiveCD to set the tables MBR and partition - if possible

• repair broken CID-String > the virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created.

  Hello

  We have ESX 3.5 Update2

  During the withdrawal of one of the many snapshots, the process has been crushed and the CID string seems to be corrupted.

  Now the last work of x file - 000006.vmdk cannot start because the file is based on x - 000004.vmdk.

  Now, I get this message:

  Cannot open disk /vmfs/volumes...x-000007.vmdk or one of the Flash disk that it depends on.

  Reason: The virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created.

  If you provide vmdk small text files, all the vmware.logs, the vmsd file and the vmx file I can look into it

• VMware Workstation is unable to open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum file size supported by the host file system.

  I'm transitioning from Windows XP (64-bit) on a new computer with Windows 7 installed.  I undertook to VMWare Workstation 6 7.0.1 in the process.  The problem is with a very large RAID 5 volume on the new system.  It's a score of 5.45 TB (TPG and NTFS).

  When I try to start a virtual machine on this volume, I get the message "VMware Workstation cannot open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum size of the files supported by the host file system.".  This is obviously not true.  If I copy the virtual machine to another drive on the system, it starts without a problem.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this problem?

  try to add this line in the vmx file:

  diskLib.sparseMaxFileSizeCheck = "false".

  Maybe it helps.

  VMDK-type do you use?

  monolithicSparse? -C' is the only part type more?

  After a few days of research about this error, I decided that I had to ask for some evidence of your experts to help me recover from this error.

  Thank you!

  It is a small desktop application:

  -Dell T410 esxi Server 5

  -a virtual machine, Windows Server 2003 with 2 discs, no fixed size

  I was help this office by managing services and updates on this Server 2003.  I ran updates on Friday and restarted.  When he came I open vSphere and found the virtual machine does not.  I tried to start it and got the error.  So, it seems I may have the CID issue that needs to be corrected.

  I don't have a direct access to this server so I'm remoting with RDS on 2003 VM server and vSphere on the esxi.  Did I make the right diagnosis and is it possible for me to make the necessary corrections to distance or I need direct access to the server?  Everything I've read has files of people editing CID numbers and it seems that they directly access the esxi server.

  Shows the data store:

  The parentCID of the snapshot must match the CID from its parent, as shown in the log file

  "... The content ID mismatch (parentCID f72e60c7! = f05537b3)... »

  Server.VMDK

  CID = f05537b3
  parentCID = ffffffff

  Server - 000001.vmdk

  CID = a2b9ba8b
  parentCID = f72e60c7---> f05537b3

  Make sure you change the file on the host using the vi editor or - if you want to change the file in Windows - use an editor who is aware of the line breaks Unix (do not use Notepad!)

  Once this is done, I highly recommend that you take another cliché before you on the virtual computer. This prevents existing virtual disk files to be modified, so that you can return to this State where you need. After that everything works as expected, consider deleting all snapshots.

• Unable to create the disc of recovery on my Equium P300-19O

  I think it's important to do these recovery disks, but I have already lost 5 discs already. Is there any help that anyone can give.

• Screen flickers on Satellite L300 and I am unable to create a recovery disk

  Hi all

  I just bought a model L300 PSLB0C 08R08C number.
  I was unable to create a recovery disk, I was getting an error message saying it cannot create disk because it is scratched or has dirt on it, I lost 5 nine DVD.

  I am went to the store and replaced by another unit, but had the same problem (I have not tried a different brand of DVD well)

  Second issue with this device, the screen flashes once whenever it is in a shutdown state.
  Number 3, the wireless card disappears from the Device Manager, until I restart.
  Laptop made in China ;-)

  Any suggestions are much apprecaited

  Hello

  It is indeed strange that you were unable to create a recovery disk, and that the problem has resurfaced, even after permutation of the laptop with another unit of the store. However, if you have not tried a different brand of DVD so I suggest that if the laptop asks the disc is scratched or has dirt on it. I'm not sure if toshiba factory in fact blank DVDs, but if they do, it would be a starting point, as one would expect hardware toshiba would happily work with their own brand DVD media. However, if you can't find toshiba dvd then use another trust mark, for example, Imation and TDK. with my experience, I have tried many brands of DVD and have found very reliable TDK.

  regarding the second question, this may be related to the graphics card in the system, or could be due to the performance of the computer laptop itself. Check that you have the latest driver for your graphics card and all the settings on the computer are optimized / hard drives are defragmented and deleted unnecessary files. with your third question, this question could also be related to driver problems, check your regional drivers toshiba site for the latest drivers again. failing this, I would back up your data and then restore to a factory condition, then install the drivers immediately. I hope this info can help you somehow.
