Hello,
First of all Happy new Years to everyone!
I recently upgraded my vmware esxi 4.0 server to 5.1. For one reason or another I had to downgrade the OS back to 5.0.
This involved installing esxi 5.0 as a clean install, perserving the datastore and reconfiguring the host. When I try and add the VM's Back into the inventory they appear under the host as "Unknown (invalid)".
When the OS was at 5.1 I had upgraded all of the VM's to the latest version, So i'm not quite sure if that might be the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is occuring? I am able to create a new VM and point it to the existing vmdk, but if possible I would like to simply add them back in.
Cheers
Peter Sheridan
