[wkfoster]

All,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out I ran into a problem today. Unfortunately I was in need to move my wordpress vm to one of my other ESXI datastores.

During the move the datastore I was moving it to ran out of space and this left me with part of the datastore files on each server.

Im not sure what i should do here could you please help I really need these vms back.

Attached is a picture is what is in each datastore

Thats strange : you have Wordpress.vmdk in one datastore and Wordpress-flat.vmdk in the other one.
This seems to be to strange for poor Datastorebrowser.
Please provide a filelisting created with ls -lah or WinSCP.

Continuum,

Thanks for much for your help!! Here is the files shown through scp

I also noticed that my other server that also failed at the same time also ended up with 2 flat.vmdk files one at 100gb in size and the other at 1.7gb in size. I assume this is the majority of the problem and since they are the same name it wont be as simple as just merging the data store files back together.

The guys that thought displaying vmdks as a single file is a good idea should be forced to solve all these cases after work !!
I need the descriptor vmdk for wordpress.vmdk - was the vmdk 100gb in size ?

Here is the wordperss descriptor file.

The 100gb was what the datastore browser shows the vmdk's size is currently on the original data store.

Ok - the original size really was 100gb.
So delete the part that already arrived - and try to copy again.
You also need the vmx-file in the new location.
I would recommend to do such copies of vmdks with the vmkfstools -i command in future.

Just to confirm delete the 2.9gb flat.vmdk from the transfer location and try to recopy the one from the original data store?

Thanks!!
