Hi,

I have a problem.

when I want to power on vm  in vmware returns the error:

Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/567bc77b-92a5e4b3-fa01-78e7d1dd73ec/server3/server3.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

The file specified is not a virtual disk

i attach vmx file and log file

and file listing of the VM's directory:

According to the log file "server3.vmdk" has been truncated!? Did you run out of disk space on the datastore at some point in time, or did you have a power loss?

Btw. it looks like the data you provided (file list and .vmx file) was modified/anonymized for this post. The file list contains incorrect file names, and the .vmx file is missing important data, which makes it hard to help!?

My hard drive was corrupted and I returned data file with a recovery.
