Error attaching VMDK to VM (NFS)

[danieljlucas]

I cloned a VMDK using NetApp's FlexClone. I then tried to attach the cloned VMDK to a VM as a disk and got the error attached. I've already posed the question in the NetApp forums and they seem to think it is related to security. NetApp documentation says that the ACL will not be copied to the cloned file. How do I view/modify the ACL of a VMDK if it is on NFS? Can I do that through CLI of the host?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi
that is a strange error message

Power off the VM - remove it from inventory and edit the vmx-file directly.

scsi0:4.present = "true"
scsi0:4.filename = "your-vmdk.vmdk"

then readd the VM to inventory and try to start it.
Attach vmware.log if that fails
