I have the invalid status problem. virtual machines that were shut down last night are fine, the ones that were on are invalid all 3 of them. I have all 3 virtual machines locked (the lock file is in the directory).
Re scan didn't help. Renamed v m x.l ck file but didn't help, reboot/shut down didn't help. I've tried to load an older virtual machine and it works just fine. The invalid ones nope.
"esxcli" storage filesystem list return on Mounted: true
if I try to delete lock file returns me input/output error
what else can I try to do, to fix it?
Have you tried to create a snapshot and delete it?
try to migrate VM completely, I mean to another host and to another datastore.
Snapshot haven't tried, migrate tried and doesn't work
Snapshot is not active on corrupted VMs
tried to delete lock file with winSCP but still no luck.
update:
for example at vmfstools -e "vm.vmdk" I get input/output error (327689) and disk chain is not consistent
at vmfsfilelockinfo -p i get: is locked in exclusive mode by host having mac address ....
I don't know what else to do.
