Solved: VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vthread-9...

coling225 · ‎08-06-2019

I have looked through all the existing posts and have not been able to find any solutions -- VMWare is crashing every time I try and clone a VM.

I have attached the log file, the dmp file, and the collected support info.

Here's the errors from the log:

SOLVED

I used the following program to create a clone from within the VM

https://www.backup-utility.com/help/disk-clone.html

I added a new drive to the VM, used the above program to clone that drive (from within the VM), and then shutdown the VM and removed the old drive.

Once I did this, I was able to successfully clone this VM to a new, clean VM.

The message

2019-08-06T13:09:40.268-04:00| vthread-9| I125+ VERIFY bora\lib\disklib\sparseUtil.c:1245

suggests that there is something wrong with your vmdks.

Please create a list with all the vmdk-files - include the filesize.

Do you start Workstation as admin ? - that will be required as the files are owned by the admin / SYSTEM.

________________________________________________
Do you need support with a VMFS recovery problem ? - send a message via skype "sanbarrow"
I do not support Workstation 16 at this time ...

Running as Administrator has the same result. Below are the VMDK files. Also below, I have included the contents of the master Descriptor file which lists the VMDK files... wondering if something is out of sync. i have also attached all the descriptor files to this message (all the 2 KB files)@@

Strange ... please explain why you have a file

131,072 DEMO-OB14DPR1-cl9-s027.vmdk

which is not mentioned in the vmdk descriptor ?

Can you launch the VM as it is now ?

coling225 · ‎08-06-2019

I can launch the VM as it is now, but as you can see, I am getting errors trying to perform certain tasks. I did have some corruption on my drive, and I thought i recovered the files properly, but it's possible there are errors in the VMDK file.

I have tried mounting that disk to my local file system, but VMWare crashes when I do that as well (most likely the same reason).

Any idea what i would need to do in order to fix this file?

I am also looking at the possibility of cloning the disk from within the virtual machine to see if I can create a new fresh VMDK.

coling225 · ‎08-06-2019

Also, this is the contents of the current disk that is being used, I may have copied the incorrect VMDK file

SOLVED

I used the following program to create a clone from within the VM

https://www.backup-utility.com/help/disk-clone.html

I added a new drive to the VM, used the above program to clone that drive (from within the VM), and then shutdown the VM and removed the old drive.

Once I did this, I was able to successfully clone this VM to a new, clean VM.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Was it helpful? Let us know by completing this short survey here.

continuum · ‎08-06-2019

Good - I wanted to suggest the same.

You were using all vmdks except one - so cloning with the Workstation function would have probably failed.

In such cases I boot the VM with a Linux LiveCD and then clone existing vmdk to a new one with ddrescue - that gives the best results.
