Hi,
I took a clone of a LUN to my DR site. The system drive is on LUN1 & the data drive is on LUN2. I don;t need the data drive however when I try to boot the VM it gives me an error because it cant find the data LUN.
Can i edit the VMX file in order to get it to boot by removing all references to disk 2?
This is the VMDK file:
