Virtual Machine with Multiple split Disk Files.

[Samojit_IBM]

Hello All,

I have downloaded Virtual Machine in which their are 2 disk file (.vmdk file) which has been split in to multiple disk files (attached screen shot.. file name -- disk_details.jpg).Now my concern is whenever am trying to power on the VM it's giving an error (attached screen shot.. file name -- Mapr VM Error.jpg). Need your all help to resolve this issue. Even I tried to merge all the split VMDK files in to a single VMDK but that also did not worked.

ESXi 5.1

CISCO UCS server

OS of VM Ubuntu 64.

Do let me know if you need any further information.

Hi,

Try to convert your "sparse" vmdk into a supported vmdk.

According to this kb :VMware KB: Unable to power on a virtual machine with mounted sparse disks  .

Hope It helps,

Regards,

Julien.
