Could not power on VM after clone

Hello,

We have VM with 2 snapshots and it need to be consolidated, we did but the consolidation failed because we have sufficient diskspace in the datastore and the error is "An error occurred while communicating with the remote host.".

We tried to clone it on another datastore but it failed also with this error "An error occurred while communicating with the remote host.".

Now, we could not power on the VM with the following error "File system specific implementation of LookupAndOpen[file] failed"

Error stack:
Module 'Disk' power on failed.
Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/<datastorepath>/<vm name>/<vm name>-000002.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Failed to lock the file
