Power up fails - File not found, but it's there?
I am trying to power on a copied vm in our environment, I am receiving an error as below.
An error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM K2_Core.
Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/5188ec1e-836b9386-b2fa-ac162da43fae/VM Backup 02072013/K2 Core 4.1-cl4-000002.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
The system cannot find the file specified
VMware ESX cannot find the virtual disk "/vmfs/volumes/5188ec1e-836b9386-b2fa-ac162da43fae/VM Backup 02072013/K2 Core 4.1-cl4-000002.vmdk". Verify the path is valid and try again.

Was trying to go through this article to fix http://www.bground.za.net/vmware/160/vmware-open-disk/ which resolves descriptor file errors.
Steps I made...
/vmfs/volumes/5188ec1e-836b9386-b2fa-ac162da43fae/VM Backup 02072013 # less *.vmx | grep -i virtualdev
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
pciBridge4.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge5.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge6.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge7.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068"
/vmfs/volumes/5188ec1e-836b9386-b2fa-ac162da43fae/VM Backup 02072013 # ls -l *-flat.vmdk
ls: *-flat.vmdk: No such file or directory
/vmfs/volumes/5188ec1e-836b9386-b2fa-ac162da43fae/VM Backup 02072013 # vmkfstools -c 3797 -a lsisas1068 -d thin K2Core.vmdk
Invalid adapter type: 'lsisas1068'
/vmfs/volumes/5188ec1e-836b9386-b2fa-ac162da43fae/VM Backup 02072013 # vmkfstools -c 3797 -a lsilogic -d thin temp.vmdk
Size too small, disk must be at least 1 Megabyte.
Anyone shed some light on how to resolve? Thanks!
Files listed below. Attached log. ESXi 5. I may have buggered it up good and proper now, removed disk and readded, tried to migrate, consolidate.

Hi,
As i can see , you have upgraded your host , you have sparse file 196608 Jul 18 13:27 K2 Core 4.1-cl4-000002-s064.vmdk. First , can you try to convert your disk format. That may cause your issue.
"This issue occurs because the vmkernel multiextent module is no longer loaded by default in ESX/ESXi 4.1 Patch 8, ESXi 5.0 Patch 5 or ESXi 5.1"
Please connect to your esxi using ssh and type : vmkfstools -E VM-name-new-disk.vmdk VM-name.vmdk . You need to clone all your vmdk.
Here the KB : http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&e...
Regards,
Julien.

julienvarela Your cause is correct but the command is wrong
vBrendan The correct command it vmkfstools -i K2 Core 4.1-cl4-000001.vmdk newname.vmdk -d thin (if you like to go for thin format)
vmkfstools -i K2 Core 4.1-cl4-000002.vmdk newname.vmdk -d thin (Second harddisk) Did you copy this VM from a workstation or fusion machine?

It looks like you copied the files from VMware Workstation or Player to the ESXi host!? Unfortunately ESXi doesn't support the 2GB split format, and from the sizes of the snapshot files it appears that they are empty/useless anyway. Although it might be possible to reconfigure the copied VM using some CLI commands, I'd recommend you use VMware Converter, which is the proper way to migrate a hosted VM to ESXi.
