Hi,
Typical this, a colleague was moving a vmware machine from one san datastore to a local datastore on a hypervisor, and in the process he ended up losing the vmx file associated with the server, to make matters worse, the server was also removed from the inventory.
All i have to work with is the following 2 files:
server1-flat.vmdk - this is 311,803,900.00
server1.vmsd - this is 0.00 kb
There are no other files I have left to work with.
I have tried to create a NEW VM, and say use existing vmware disk, but the wizard does not see the server1-flat.wmdk at all (even though it is there)
I also haven't been given any documentation about any settings which should have been in the vmx file.
Anything i can do to fix this? My knowledge is limited, but i'm prepared to try anything on the locak Hypervisor and vsphere client.
