Hello VMware community,
after a system crash and replacement of a faulty hardware RAID controller I'm having trouble to get a VM back online. After trying to start the VM I'm getting the error message:
The redo log of datastoragevm-000001.vmdk is corrupted. If the problem still persists, discard the redo log.
Trying to consolidate the VM disks leads to the following error:
Consolidate virtual machine disk files: A general system error occurred: Input/output error
The originally snapshot file causing the error in the first place was datastoragevm-000001.vmdk before I created a new snapshot and tried to merge this back as described in a KB article. According to another KB article I've already tried to clone the vmdk with "vmkfstools --clonevirtualdisk datastoragevm-000002.vmdk datastoragevm-recovered.vmdk -d eagerzeroedthick" but this leads to the following error:
Clone: 15% done.Failed to clone disk: Bad file descriptor (589833).
Any help would be great.
Greets,
David
