Hi all,
i have a 3.5 esxi server with 12 VM. Last night the machine was turned off by a power failure and now only 2 of my VM are booting.
The other machines don't boot complaining they cannot open vmdk, file. I attach part of the log of one of my machines:
I tried all suggestions i found googling internet but none of them worked. I can't find any process locking vmdk files on esxi. A reboot of the server did not solve the problem.
Has anyone some suggestions?
Thanks in advance

It appears that the VM has gone on vacation :).
For one of the VMs, could you post a list of files for the folder and the entire latest vmwareX.log file?
I opened a support call with vmware and found that the raid5 array
was broken, there was a logical read error in the first 30Mb of the
disk. I had to re-install esxi server and restore virtual machines.
Now server is up and running. Hope will not happen again...
