VMWare Workstation unrecoverable error: (vmx)

[wijonarko]

Hello,

I created a VM of Oracle Red Hat Linux Enterprise (RHEL 5) and got this error message. This VM is used as database server (Oracle RedHat) and connected to another VM which is used as appliance.

I'm using VMWare Workstation version 9.02 and installed in Windows 7 64bit. In this VM, I created some snapshot. The last state of VM is suspended and every I resume it, this error will be displayed. I can't change the settings and also go back to any snapshot that created before.

I've tried to restart the VMWare services and also used older version of VMWare Workstation version 9.01, but it still does'nt work.

I have attached the log file. Any idea how can I fix it?

Thanks for any help

You need to discard the suspended state - something serious has changed since you suspended the VM.
Looking at the log I guess you do not have the same mouse as the one one you used when the VM was suspended.

Delete this files:

G:\RHEL 5 2.6 18-8 x86_64\Oracle RHEL 5 2.6 18-8 x86_64-Snapshot14.vmsn

G:\RHEL 5 2.6 18-8 x86_64\564d16bd-1ae0-7f67-3423-5ff35c59b4e7.vmem

Delete this lines in the vmx:

checkpoint.vmState.readOnly = "TRUE"

checkpoint.vmState = "Oracle RHEL 5 2.6 18-8 x86_64-Snapshot14.vmsn"

Then try to start the VM - this time it should not crash.
It may still display a warning about a disk that may need a repair but that could be a bluff and we can deal with that later.
