Hello Community,
I'm currently trying to create new virtual machine with existing vmdk. I have followed the steps outlined here Creating a Workstation virtual machine using existing VMDK virtual disks (2010196) | VMware KB, but on my ESiX 5.1.
However, when I power on the VM I get the message shown in the image.
Can someone let me know where I'm going wrong?
Cheers
Carlton
Was the virtual disk created for a hosted product (e.g. VMware Player or Workstation)?
In such a case you cannot only upload the virtual disk's file(s) but need to convert them to a supported format (see e.g. https://kb.vmware.com/kb/1028943)

Hi,
I believe it was created for virtual machine.. is that what you mean?

Virtual disks consist of files with a .vmdk extension. Howver, there are different formats for these .vmdk files for ESXi, and other VMware products.
Do you have a complete list of files in the VM's folder?
