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.
