vmkfstools ' cannot open 'exch01_3.vmdk': has reached the limit of the host to open files (40).

Hello

We try to restore a virtual Exchange computer from a backup of virtual machine BE files. Download us all files for the data store and inventory of the virtual machine. We got an error when you try to turn on the virtual machine

Power DevicePowerOn module has failed. Failed to create virtual SCSI devie to scsi0:0.

VMware technical support has helped/Showed me how to reformat the VMDK using VMKFstools and show in this KB

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_us & cmd = displayKC & externalID = 1028943.

There are 4 disks and disk cloning first 3 succeeded, but the last of them failed with the message "unable to open 'exch01_3.vmdk'. Reached the limit of the host for open files (40).

The environment is ESXi 4.1.0

Is there someone out there who knows how I can get this last drive for clone properly?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Craig

It is probably caused by the block size VMFS for the target data store. In order to allow greater than 512 GB files the size of the block on a VMFS3 data store must be at least 4 MB. You have an another data store with a block size of 4 MB (or 8 MB)? If so, create a folder named on this data store for the hard file and run vmkfstools as target using that store of data/folder.

    Hello

    Was the HP works well before game console? If Yes, then do you remember any hardware/software changes, after which the problem started?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  • Can I transfer my license to upgrade to Windows 7 on a new computer? The system on which it is has reached the end of his life.

    At the launch of Windows 7 I bought one a version upgrade to upgrade XP on my Dell PC to W7 professional.  This PC has reached the end of its useful life, and I intend to give it up (literally).  I would like to transfer the license to upgrade for my Dell Netbook that W7 Starter Edition is installed.  Can I do this?

    Graham.

    Thank you very much, this is very useful.  Can I just confirm what constitutes an acceptable method of removing of Dell PC?  I have to do something to turn off allow it on the Dell PC before removing it?  I can't uninstall it (because the update of XP should be a clean install) so my options are delete and format the hard drive (my supported option, can I use it for storage) or go back to XP using an Acronis Disk image that I kept from the time of the upgrade.  Whatever it is, I imagine that Microsoft have to take my word that I removed?

    Graham.

    Yes, as long as its not in use on the computer. I would restore the Acronis Disk image that had saved you.

  • 'Cannot open file because the disk is not available' Mac

    I recently changed the selection of Photoshop (CS6) Scratch disk to the boot drive by default to one of the other internal drives in my MacPro (OS 10.6.8).

    When I restart Photoshop (CS6) I get the message:

    "Cannot open file because the disk is not available"

    and Photoshop will not start.

    I then restart Photoshop with 'Control - alt - shift' keys

    (suggestion to <http://forums.adobe.com/message/3937003>)

    and reset preferences that allows Photoshop to return.

    (Reset preferences returned the boot drive to drive work status.)

    I have an another MacPro, the - same 10.6.8 OS and Adobe CS6 - and I don't have this problem of allocation of work disk.

    What happens with a MacPro which prevents me from selecting one drive other than the boot drive working Photoshop

    Probably a permission problem.  Run the Apple disk utility to repair permissions.  If this does not work the glance to the non bootable drive and check "Ignore permissions..."  Open the window Info Finder and it came inside.

  • Cannot open files (desktop programs) *.exe

    When I try to open .exe files I get a message error that says "this file doesn't have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options Control Panel. " I went to control panel > tools > folder options > file types and tried to put 'exe' to 'demand', but that doesn't seem to work. Funny enough, I am able to open other types of programs such as pictures, videos and files PDF and if I open a file html directly, I can open Firefox, but I can't open firefox.exe directly.
