Hi,

I am running ESXi 5.1.

I copied a whole VM to my ESXi 5.1 and added the .vmx file to the inventory. But when powering on the VM getting the following error:

Here is list of contents of the VM:

I am also attaching the .vmx file. Please help me to solve this issue..

Thanks,

How did you copy the VM? If you edit the settings are the drives configured to point to the new location of the VMDK files?

Please delete the .lck file and then power on the VM again. Also can you try pinging the VM with its hostname. It might be running at the Guest OS level

Hi Weinstein5,

Thanks for your response.

Actually I am not sure that how the VM copied. I got 2 VM from my client and among them 1 can power on and works fine.

Thanks

Hi AakashJ,

Thanks a lot. After deleting the .lck file it is working. Now I can power on the VM.

Thanks.
