Has anyone come across this error before? We are attempting to run reconfigure on a VM with a VMDK that is 1TB in size. It errors out on Step 1 with the following message:
Failed to open file vpxa-nfc://[datastore]
followed with a string of numbers.
I cloned the VM to another datastore and the same issue. :smileyangry:
Any one have any ideas?
Thx
I have experienced this problem and have elevated to VMware.
It appears to be a Converter (V3.0.3) issue (confirmed by VMware) and they are working on the solution.

I've been working on this issue with VMware support. It seems any VMDK over 1TB (whether it is the primary or a secondary HD attached to the VM) fails. I ran some tests just to see where the errors start. Take a look below:
Attempts at reconfigure with various sized secondary disks:
8GB Disk = Ok
20GB Disk = Ok
50GB Disk = Ok
100GB Disk = Ok
256GB Disk = Ok
512GB Disk = Ok
768GB Disk = Ok
896GB Disk = Ok
960GB Disk = Ok
1023GB Disk = Ok
Here's where it starts to error out
1024GB Disk = Error
1152GB Disk = Error
1433GB Disk = Error
So as you can see, anything that is over the 1024GB mark fails.
