Hi All,
Yesterday I've encounter an issues that I've trouble to deal with approprietly:
Some old 3.5 host crashed and after reboot one of the VMs (ubuntu) was corrupted/issued in inventory. Normally removing from inventory
and re-registering it again always helped - this time, after removing from inventory - there's no vm file - only content on attached screen.
I've searched for some solutions but since I have not consistent vmdk - I'm not sure what to begin with ?
Looking forward for some advice...
Many thanks in advance !
I would start by searching other data stores for the VMX file or a directory with the same name as the VM - if you cannot find it I would than attempt to rebuild the VM but instead of creating a new virtual I would slelect use an existing disk and point to the -delta file which is a snapshot -

Issue solved - I've created new VM and edited configuration file to point to correct vmdk and flat file.
Still don't know what happened to orginal .vmx file ? Nothing in logs; I coulnd't find file anywhere else - come corruption on disk maybe ?
Fortunately this is old infrastructue soon to be decommissioned
