Error after vm move to another datastore

Hello,

I have a big problem. After a space issue I moved a vm from one to another datastore.If I start the vm I got an error message:

Das Starten der virtuellen Maschine ist fehlgeschlagen.

Einschalten des Moduls Disk fehlgeschlagen.

Die Festplatte '/vmfs/volumes/56040702-d1150608-9171-3ca82a0c5614/SRVCANIAS/SRVCANIAS-000003.vmdk' oder eine der Snapshot-Festplatten, auf die sie angewiesen ist, konnte nicht geöffnet werden.

Die angegebene Datei ist keine virtuelle Festplatte

The files look okay. I don`t know how I could fix it.

Please compress/zip all the VM's .vmdk header files as well as its .vmx file and attach the .zip file to a reply post.

Note that only the small (a few hundred bytes in size) .vmdk header/descriptor files are required, not the data (flat) files. The datastore browser shows the .vmdk header and data files as a single file, so you need to access the host using e.g. WinSCP to download these files.
