Hi all,

newbie to the community.....have been battling an issue over the past 3 days. I have a VM in VC, which I am trying to pull into Lab Manager as a template - Import Template.

However I receive the following error - Requested file "VMFS_INFRA LabMan/504/000504-Windows2008STDFull.vmdk" not found

When I check the datastore that the VM resides I can see the VMDK file there, so am unsure on why it says it cannot be found...

The vmx file for the VM has the following entries;

Is there a procedure I should undertake to ensure that
a) it's looking for the correct VMDK file
b) any manual way to resolve this

Thanks
