VMware VI / ESX VM & VMDK file naming tips
1) avoid spaces and brackets ( ) and other nasty characters in .vmx and .vmdk names
2) use a common suffix for each VM's name, vm.vmx, /vmfs/vm subdirectory AND vm.vmdk disks !
ie
orac
/vmfs/volume/storage/orac/
orac.vmx
oraca.vmdk
oracb.vmdk
3) give real names to VMDKS instead of accepting default _N suffix
ie
DISKC.VMDK
DISKD.VMDK
DISKE.VMDK
or
diskos.vmdk
disksw.vmdk
diskdb.vmdk
