I have vsphere 5 and when I try clone, migrate or export to ovf one of my 7 virtual machine got error "Error casued by file ... vmdk"
Cdrom diable , not snapshot. (I tried do it on power off virutal machine)
This machine it's running fine. I can power it on (suse) and off
Veeam has also problem with this machine :
Unknown error Unable to retrieve next block transmission command. Number of already processed blocks: [123]. Failed to perform data backup.
I think the vmdk is corrupted but machine is running excellet ?
Maybe shoud I Delete this machine with disk (big problem) and install it from scratch?
Any ideas?
This is caused due to block size issues with the vmdk file.
The block size at the destination should be large enough to accomodate the source vmdk.
Please go through http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=200909...
It talks on how to change the block size.
This will resolve your issue.
But other virutal machine resist on that datastore has even bigger disk and can be clone without a problem. to desetination datastore
Did you try migrating other VMs in this datastore to the same destination as this one?
Yes I did .
I cloned other vm with 100GB disk from the same soruce to destination and everyting is ok.
This bad vm has also 100GB disk and even to export to ovf -- to physical windows GPT cause error disk
Please have a look @Can't SVmotion machine. I think you are also under the same situation.
Hope this helps!!!
