Not sure why this started happening, but I am unable to create new VM's from a template.
It gets to about 90 - 92% then errors with the following error:
Invalid configuration for device '0'
I can convert the template to a VM and run the VM, then convert the VM back to template and still get this same error.
I have fixed this issue by removing the CDROM while deploying from template.
Thanks VMware community.
I have experienced that if we select Edit settings(experimental) during the VM build, this error occurs(ESX 4.0). Edit settings can be done after the VM build.
Another easy fix is to edit VM settings before you finish the deplyment dialouge.. and delete the cd rom device.
Hope that helps
I read all solutions on the web and made me scared cause i couldnt restart Networking Services on ESX or so
you need to power off the VM with the Problem
vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms - To list all the registered VM's on a host.
will show list of VMs with name and VMID
vim-cmd vmsvc/reload VMID - Re-scan & refresh the vmx file.
power it on and it will be working
Thank god that saved alot of time as I had Vcenter with Network which cant be connected to and that was really annoying
