VMWare vmdk file not found even after it is

• Play a suspended virtual machine, vmdk file not found or the specified file is not a virtual disk

  Hi, I have a problem that I can't solve with the usual methods.

  My data

  • software: VMVware Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130

  • Host: NB HP Compaq 2510p with 2 GB of ram

  • OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 5.12.2600

  I have a Win XP Pro SP3 computer virtual created for my work:

  • 6-5 - 7.0 VM workstation

  • RAM: 512 MB

  • Windows XP Pro operating system

  • Processors: 1

  • CDRom: Autodetect

  • Floppy: Autodetect

  • USB: present

  • Sound card: Autodetect

  • Display: Autodetect

  • HARD drive is divided into 2 GB files

  The problem lies in the HARD disk:

  • 40 GB declared

  • 0 MB recognized by the system

  My VM was functional complete. After a suspension

  • The State remains suspended

  • When I try to resume, a pop-up window will appear "file not found: IATROS VM.vmdk" go through it...

  the vmdk file exists (see my attached files).

  When I try to see the features on the parameters, appears "the specified file is not a virtual disk" and all data in the pop-up are unknown or missing.

  I tryied to use the vmware_vdiskmanager with the command vmware - vdiskmanager.exe - R 'e:\appo1\IATROS VM.vmdk' in vain also.

  I think that it is necessary to recreate a file descriptor for disc divided into 2 GB files.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsotes/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1026266

  but, if we compare the contents of the VMDK file with the discussion in the article, there seems to be no problem of format or content.

  There are suggestions to solve the problem?

  can I await your response?

• VMDK file not found - but it's there!

  I have a client who has problems with a virtual machine.

  Running Windows 7 Home 64 bit.

  VMWorkstation 6.5.1

  VM is supposed to be running Windows XP Professional, but I get the message

  "File not found: Windows XP Professional.vmdk.

  This file is required to power on this virtual machine.  If this file has been moved, please provide its new location. »

  This hard file is 0KB.

  What is corrupt and how to fix it?

  See attached the results of support.vbs.

  First of all, you said it was 0 KB and existing in the screenshot is the same size and the date and time as the .vmem file, so I suspect that you copied the .vmem file and renamed him so it's really not a hard file.  You can not just arbitrarily copy and rename the files from one type to another type to solve this problem!   Even if it was a hard file, it is corrupted by the entries in the .log file and at this size, there is nothing to fix even if it was the original hard that the guest operating system has been installed has him toast now.

• Windows 7 vmdk file not found, but it's really there...

  Had a running instance of MAX OS 10.9.2 Fusion 6 and a VM Windows 7, everything worked fine.  Had to reinstall the operating system using the procedure of restoration of Mac (alt - R during startup) to remove stuff JAMF Casper and re - take control of my machine after leaving a company. After recovery / re-install of OS X... I tried to use the original VM file and the merger could not find the vmdk files. So I restored a "Windows 7.vmwarevm" VM file Time machine. Same exact results... Fusion is up fine, recognizes the Windows 7 VM, but is not able to find the file "Windows 7.vmdk". When I try to start the virtual machine, I get the error message "could not open the file" / users/brucekreis/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized / 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7.vmdk Windows ":"the system cannot find the specified file". ".

  
  

  I can see it in a terminal window, checked that I am the owner of all files and directories in the tree, and they have at least the permissions for the owner, RW read only for all the rest... I changed the permissions to all access for files and dir (chmod-r 777 < dir >) tree and even reset the ACL (r n < dir > chmod). I can change the configuration files using the console VMware fusion library and check that it changes through the terminal window.  I tried to delete the .lck files and catch instant and re-did the file .vxm to the 7.vmdk Windows, without any change in the error message.

  
  

  I always suspect permissions, ACL, or something dealing with the recovery changed. I restored the original file .vmwarevm yet once, so you can see it of original state before I started to make changes and ran the util to collect information of technical support. I attached the zip file.

  FWIW... I tried to import the virtual machine and create a new virtual machine from this instance, but it is gray in molten selection windows, as if it is not recognized as a valid VM.

  Thank you in advance...

  You are missing two scopes binary "twoGbMaxExtentSparse', a basic disk, and the other from the first snapshot disk.

  Windows 7 - s009.vmdk

  Windows 7-000001 - s008.vmdk

  It is a workaround solution mainly for the express purpose of recovering data from the user, which is stored in the virtual hard disk, not necessarily get working 100% again.

  Copy Windows 7 - s040.vmdk for Windows 7 - s009.vmdk and Windows 7-000001 - s039.vmdk for Windows 7-000001 - s008.vmdk.

  This replaces the missing binary extensions with empty extents.  This allows VMware Fusion a string of competition and makes it look like a complete set of files hard.

  The problem is the two missing bodies, look at the size of each before and after, there will be some lack of content.  How the mission critical, can not say.

  You can try to start normally or start first with an ISO Image live and make recovering data first, and then try to run normally.  I can't say exactly what will be broken/missing except however backups clean* you don't have much choice.

• I can not even open FF because the profile is not found, even after using the profile in order to create a new profile.

  I've recently upgraded to version 40 39.0.3. The first upgrade was not so I removed FF using the control panel (uninstall program). I reinstalled again, but I got the messages that FF was already running, etc. as other users have noticed. I open profiles (Open firefox.exe - p) and tried to open FF with the "default" profile that did not work. I created a new profile ("defaultuser") and FF open. (I have the box checked to use the new profile on startup). I have created FF as I wanted it, and then exit. When I started later FF, the profile is not found. The profile did not have the "defaultuser" profile, does not open with the "default" profile, but would a new profile must be created and FF to open and run. Quit FF and reopen produces the same sequence (profile not found, etc.) I uninstalled 40 and reinstalled version 39.0.3 and I have the same problems with this version (39.0.3), plus he's starting the upgrade to version 40, and soon as I complete the installation again. I uninstalled the 39.0.3/40 version and reinstalled 40 using the Profiles page to write this question.

  I removed the version FF 40 using the Panel of control/uninstall. I deleted all the files that have been "* firefox *" and "* mozilla * ' (and there are some). I rebooted, and then reinstalled FF version 39.0.3. I could we FF immediately (without having to create a new profile). I have not had any problems with a bad certificate of Google, Yahoo, etc.. I went to all the web sites open very well. I could restart, then restart FF several times without problems or issues of certificate. Meanwhile, I made no changes to Kaspersky, and as far as I know, Kaspersky works as he usually does. I am almost sure that FF 40 version has a certificate problem that I can't fix. I'm less sure if the original upgrade to version FF 39.0.3 to 40.0.0 (then 40.0.2) played a role in my profile questions. Regardless, I have a version of FF that works and auto-updated to FF is off (and it will remain like that until I gather a few of this blog and other insurance which emits 40 FF are ironed out). I appreciate the help that you (and jscher200 in another thread) has attempted to provide. While the issues are not fixed, the thread can be closed.

  How the Virtual Machine has been backed up and restored?  If Time Machine then...

  That said, if you don't have a copy of the file "Windows 7 - f004.vmdk" and then to try to retrieve the data from the user, you can try the following:

  Download then unzip it (double-click on) the joint "Windows_7 - f004.vmdk.zip" file that contains the file "Windows 7 - f004.vmdk ' an empty logical binary measure that has been created on the metric of the existing drive and add to the Package of the Virtual Machine.  This should allow the VHD to be considered as a virtual hard drive, assuming that there is no damage to the extent of the binary left headers.  Take a look on: work with Virtual Machine packages

  At this point, that the VHD has the scope necessary to show as a full disk, assuming that it is not corrupt the header in other binary extensions and can now attempt to access for the recovery of user data.

  There are several ways to try to retrieve user data.  The easy, although not necessarily work properly according to what now lack us due to replace the missing binary extensions with a logical empty measure, is trying to start the VM normally.  If the virtual machine starts up on the desk and VMware Tools load properly you should be able to copy your data to user off on a USB or slip and fall on the side of Mac or if you have a configured VMware folder then copy the files through it.

  Other methods involve starting the Virtual Machine with a Live OS ISO Image and copy files from a USB key or temporarily assemble the VHD to another Virtual Machine work.

  With the right tools installed the virtual hard disk could also be mounted as another accessible Volume through Finder.

• APEX 5.0 - static files not found even though I configured ADR.

  Hi Experts,

  I use the new 5 APEX (+ Tomcat 6) for a period of two months. All custom files are stored on the application server and they are referenced from there.

  Now, I need to create a static file - for example just a simple picture (logo).

  I want to just show at the point of the image.

  If I inspect the source of element it shows this:

  

  I have configured all the necessary stuff: apex_rest_config.sql( APEX_LISTENER, APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER)

  I also tried to configure SQL Developer to manage data REST Services. (java-jar apex.war user adminlistener "Listener administrator")

  Login test. But if I try to connect to the listener the error to occur:

  

  Y at - it one configuration to another? to make it work?

  This problem happens so that a single file or all files in space of static work/applications?

  Go to the tab network browser development tools and inspect what happens if you load a page with files of static applications/work space.

  If you get 404 for work/application space static files then this is the issue of the wrong Configuration of RESTful Services.

  RESTful Services configuration is mandatory at the APEX 5 and this is not just limited to the configuration using apex_rest_config.sql.

  The second step is the configuration of users required for RESTful Services when installing ADR?

  Reference: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37099_01/doc.20/e25066/install.htm#AELIG7217

  Check out the following threads with the same question:

  • How to set up * application and the workspace of static files after upgrade from 4.2 to 5.0?
  • Static applications and files in workspace 5 apex

  Also check if users RESTful (APEX_LISTENER and APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER) are unlocked as that can also cause the problem.

• My vmdk files not visible from vpshere but visible from ssh console

  Hello

  I would use my dataontap virtual appliance of Netapp communities tar file.

  Their installation guide, they show just to put this on the data store tar file.

  This tar file contains the following files:

  DataONTAP.vmdk

  DataONTAP.vmx

  DataONTAP - flat hard

  DataONTAP - nvram.vmdk

  DataONTAP-nvram - flat hard

  DataONTAP - s001.vmdk by DataONTAP - s126.vmdk (126 disk files)

  DataONTAP - sim.vmdk

  DataONTAP - var.vmdk

  DataONTAP-var - flat hard

  I put this vsphere on the data store file and extract it to ssh connection on esxi with the command "tar".

  All files are now visible to PuTTY connection on esxi

  1 / but when I browse datastore, I see not all vmdk files. (missing 126 files on disk)

  2 / when I turn, this virtual machine, I have this error "DataONTAP - sim.vmdk file not found on /vmfs/volumes.../.

  But this file exist on the path specified error.

  Configuration:

  ESXi 5.1, NFS datastore.

  Stand-alone node (without cluster)

  No vcenter

  Spatial data store are free and available.

  Checksum for this tar file are OK.

  Thank you very much

  Concerning

  The files in the archive are the data files, and not the descriptor. I guess DataONTAP - sim.vmdk is the file descriptor for these files DataONTAP - sXXX.vmdk . To ensure that this is the case, please attach the DataONTAP - sim.vmdk.

  If this is the case, here are the steps that should make the usable virtual machine:

  1. load the muliextent module
     vmkload_mod multiextent
  2. Rename the virtual disk file to a temporary file name
     vmkfstools EI DataONTAP - sim.vmdk DataONTAP-sim - old.vmdk
  3. clone the virtual disk in a format supported the original file name
     vmkfstools-i DataONTAP-sim - old.vmdk DataONTAP - sim.vmdk - d thin - an ide
  4. unload the module multiextent
     multiextent vmkload_mod-u

  At this point, you should be able to turn on the virtual machine. If everything works as expected, you can delete all the temporary files of DataONTAP-sim-old * hard .

• File not found: Boot Camp partition.vmdk

  Help!   I recently replaced the HD in my MacBook Pro, then to backup cloned the OSX partition, re-created the Boot Camp partition and restored from an image of Winclone.   Start directly on Boot Camp works very well.  However. Fusion 2.0.1 I see the Boot Camp partition (power off), but when I start it up I have the msg: file not found: Boot Camp partition.vmdk.   This file is supposed to be in the OSX or the Boot camp partition?  Projector can't find anything in the OSX partition.   What should I do?

  Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.

  1. If the merger is open, close it.

  2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

  RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

  3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

  Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

  Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

  When the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine starts for the first time after this VMware Tools may want or will install/update and restart the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine.

  After I had Fusion 7 on and then wanted to uninstall XP. In doing so, I think I screwed up my installation of VMware.

• File not found after moving from vm again ESXi

  Tried to move a virtual machine to an ESXi 3.5 to another server.  The virtual machine is a Windows 2003R2 domain controller configured with 3 GB of Ram and a hard drive (36 GB in size).

  After downloading and downloading what I believed to be the (scdc01.vmdk 36 GB) virtual disk and the virtual computer file that server would not start filed a complaint against "file not found".

  Found that there is another virtual disk file (scdc01 - 0000001.vmdk about 2 GB insizing).  Other investication showed that the virtual machine is configured to use the scdc01 - 000001.vmdk and not the scdc01.vmdk.

  Because I didn't build the virtual machine, I'm at a loss as to what the "scdc01.vmdk 36 GB drive is for."  I know that its possible to configure a server for its hard drives will grow according to the needs.  How do you verify if this is the case.  Is there a way to check if a virtual disk file is used by a virtual machine?  If it's Setup to grow is there nothing wrong with the execution of a domain controller installation Windows in this way.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the forums!

  000001 file is an instant vmdk.  It relies on an another vmdk.  It should be named something like scdc01 - flat hard and also several GB in size.

  Make sure you copy this file in place and it should work.

  The virtual machine is based on the snapshot based on a parent vmdk.   scdc01.VMDK is a file descriptor, which also relies on the vmdk base or instant capture.  When stereotypes are present, it is based on the snapshot.  Otherwise on the parent - flat hard

• File not found: Windows XP Home Edition - 000002.vmdk

  When I restarted my iMac today, and attempted to restart my VM Fusionware, I got this message: file not found: Windows XP Home Edition - 000002.vmdk.  He offered to let me search for it and I can't find it anywhere.  So, I inserted my VM fusion drive and reinstalled and updated to the current version - and it still says it can't find the file it needs to run.  What should I do?  I lost all my information, like all my files from MS Money?  I had planned to migrate to Quick Books for MAC this summer when I had fun.  I didn't do it all from scratch.  What should I do now?  I delete all files dealing with the merger of VM and do a clean reinstall?  Is anyway to get my MS Money information and the email client I use PocoMail or is all lost?

  Hello

  As noted in the Continuum, you need not to 'access' merger to do what was asked. We work only on the iMac here. Do a search/search for files ending in hard.

  What commands you issued before trying to start using the virtual machine.

• What should I do when after Lightrom 6 worked OK and I was rocking it draws to develop, all of a sudden I have started getting the message "folder or file not found?

  I downloaded photos successfully in Lightroom 6 and were able to develop and even export but suddenly in the process of development or export, Lightroom gives the message "File not found" and "file cannot be found. These pictures are already in Lightroom, how can't he not know where they are? And is it a problem with Lightroom, my computer, or what I did? And what should I do to correct this?

  Photos are never stored in Lightroom. They are stored on your hard drive somewhere, instead you put them, or to the place where you education Lightroom to put them.

  Lightroom is a database. When you import a pohtos, a record is created in the database for each photo, which contains the file name and the location of each photo. When the photo is no longer in the location Lightroom is looking (because somehow the file or folder has been moved, renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom), Lightroom indicates that it does not find the photo (or the photo is missing).

  Therefore, find the photo using your operating system. Once you have found the photo, you must tell Lightroom where the photo is, and what's his name. The exact tools used in this step are described here indetail: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing
