This is ono of my worst days !,, i only took the consolidation action as it ask me to do and my vm crashed

[Isacarush]

The consolidation action it was stooped suddenly with error failed

And then the VM was thinner ie: it was 140GB ,before it was about 400gb

my vm crashed ...all the sites of my son (he dye one and half mounth ago) , i wanted this site for him

and i noticed there is no vmdk (flat) file

There is a delta fvmdk of 125gb (some think like this) left and more smaller file

see the picture

Can i do some thing and revert to my vm , it seems that it is a dangerous software!

If you want to know if the flat can be recovered - see C​reate a VMFS-Header-dump using an ESXi-Host in production | VM-Sickbay​

If you provide a dump like that I can check ....

Hi
did you managed to create a dump ?

dd if=/dev/disks/t10.ATA_____HGST_HUS726020ALA610____________________K5GZH4RA____________:3  bs=1M count=2048 | gzip -c >  /tmp/isacarush.2048.gz

when the command runs watch the output - you may not have enough free space in /tmp

[Isacarush]

i am trying to call you MR

this is the message that i have till now ,but as i described centos_7 vm do not have the vmdk file, dammed software!

second ... i dont know if your dump is a big file which destroy the option to get my vmdk file

[continuum]

> second ... i dont know if your dump is a big file which destroy the option to get my vmdk file

look at the command I gave you - it writes to /tmp so no risk here to cause any harm by creating the dump.
