Would it be fair to assume that you still have the original vmdk file on your original storage?

If so, you need to copy that to the new storage and then modify the .vmx file for the VM guest with the correct new file path.

On each node use this command:

find /vmfs -name *.vmdk

Or try to search using datastore browser.

Nop!

All flat files are missing only the snapshots got migrated to the new storage.

1st Three disks are missing.

Hello,

If the only files that got migrated are the snapshots then the -flat.vmdk files should still exist in the original locations. Copy those over to the new datastore. If these do not exist then you will have to restore from backup.
