The connection to your datastore seems to be missing. You need to fix this one first before starting the VDP appliance.

above problem i can resolve already i reboot my NAS and back to normal i think service iSCSI on NAS have trouble.

After that i try to start VDP but have the error pop up " Failed to lock the file. Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/UUID/VM_Name/VM_Name.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. "

My step

shutdown  all guest to lock disk

start VDP normaly

start guest cannot same error " Failed to lock the file. Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/UUID/VM_Name/VM_Name.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. "

i follow step with

VMware KB: Cannot power on a virtual machine located in an NFS datastore

As mentioned in the article, you should delete the lock file. And when not in use, you should be able to start the virtual machine.

i access to folder guest and run command #ls- la   but dont' have lock file:smileyblush:

Could you post a screen dump of the output. Maybe it's a hidden file use ls -lah instead.

I found the solution :

Step

You edit Hardware on VDP and see the disk.

Disk is showing name of gust

You can delete them disk  and Don't delete disk of VDP

and Save  -  Re-Open guest

Finish
