Our host esxi4 runs two virtual machines. As I tried to make a second snapshot - with the help of the vsphere-client - of the debian-4-server the process stopped after a few seconds with the guest-os being switched off.
Meldung von esxi.bk4.local: Cannot open the disk
'/vmfs/volumes/4a770d15-f3c30b40-9704-0022154f-
f9eff/LML403/LML403_3-000001.vmdk' or one of the
snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: The file
specified is not a virtual disk.

As I tried to restart the guest-os I got the following message:
LML4 auf esxi.bk4.local kann nicht eingeschaltet werden: Ein allgemeiner
Systemfehler ist aufgetreten:

In english: The server can not be switched on. There has been an system-error.
It is also impossible to make a backup with the vmware-converter.
Thanks for any ideas
