VM launch failure: "the file specified is not a virtual disk"

[deeppurple247]

Hello,

I am having a problem with a VM in that it has stopped launching. When I click the "Play" button a message says "the file specified is not a virtual disk" and nothing happens. All the correct files seem to be present. The image attached shows a list of all files in the VM's folder...

This could be because of discriptive file missing, There are two vmdk files, flat and delta file. Delta file is a pointer file to you flat which is your main data file. It seems it got messed up and not there in your vm directory. You would be able to see this using commands. Could you paste your vm directory screenshots from putty.

I've since added a list of the files from a cmd line in my second thread is that okay?

[beckham007fifa]

there are too many files and also since the size is not provided its not possible to figure it out.

[deeppurple247]

Okay here's another list with sizes

[beckham007fifa]

ok, things look ok. Can you post your vmx files here?

[continuum]

Hi
please download the dsfok-tools from here
http://sanbarrow.com/files/dsfok.zip

extract dsfo.exe and dsfi.exe and put them into the directory of the VM

next download the attached batch and put it in the same location - execute it
it will output a bunch of bin-files.

together with the zip files add:

iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000001.vmdk
iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000002.vmdk 
iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000003.vmdk 
iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000004.vmdk
iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000005.vmdk
iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000006.vmdk
iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000007.vmdk
iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000008.vmdk
iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000009.vmdk
iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1.vmdk         

into one archive and attach it to your next post

[deeppurple247]

Hi Continuum,

I don't see an attached batch file?

Regards

[deeppurple247]

There was only this one vmx file.

[continuum]

oops - I was a bit distracted - just had a vmdk recovery via phone while I typed my reply ...

the vmx-file is ok

I am loooking for blabla-00000*-s00*.vmdks that do NOT start with KDMV

[deeppurple247]

Files requested are attached

[continuum]

my batch had a small mistake - please also run

dsfo.exe iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000008-s021.vmdk 0 512    iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000008-s021.bin

and attch that file too

[deeppurple247]

Attached

[continuum]

something is a bit strange ....
according to the vmx-file and the vmdk snapshot chain iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000009.vmdk is the latest snapshot.
However the files for iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000008.vmdk are newer  - do you have an idea that would explain this ?

I need to inspect your vmware*.log-files as well - please attach them

[deeppurple247]

Sorry, no

[continuum]

please make a test

open the vmx-file and change
scsi0:0.fileName = "iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000009.vmdk"
to
scsi0:0.fileName = "iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000006.vmdk"

then try to start the VM but do not let it boot completely - go into the BIOS if that is possible or just kill it when it starts to boot

I need to know wether the bad file was inside the latest snapshot

please attach the vmware.logs

[deeppurple247]

I get the following error message straight away...

Unable to open file "C:\Users\AlexP.IMACALEXP\Documents\Virtual Machines\iQ-W2K8R2-Rab\iQ-W2K8R2-Ent-cl1-000006.vmdk": One of the disks in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or by a snapshot.

[continuum]

and ? - that may be correct ?

do you have stale lock directories ? - if yes - delete them

[deeppurple247]

Sorry but I don't know what you mean by "stale lock directories"?
