Error "File /vmfs/volumes/623b2373-7e7dd75e-69ef-d06726b87aa8/AAAAA.vmdk was not found"

Hi folks, 

I´m using vSphere Client version 7.0.3.00300 and when deploying a new VM from an existing Template I got this error: "File /vmfs/volumes/623b2373-7e7dd75e-69ef-d06726b87aa8/AAAAA.vmdk was not found". 

I´ve checked on the datastore and the file AAAAA.vmdk is there.

Any ideas on how to solve that ?

Thank you

Did you modify the error message, and remove the VM's folder?

Anyway, does the folder also contain the required AAAAA-flat.vmdk file?

Hello @a_p_ ,

Yes, I did modify it to post, the original is: File /vmfs/volumes/623b2373-7e7dd75e-69ef-d06726b87aa8/W10PRO_BASIC/W10PRO_BASIC.vmdk was not found

I´m trying to deploy a new VM from an existing template, 

When looking at the datastore, I can see the following related files , but there is nothing like flat.vmdk

Thanks

Something's strange here. According to your reply (the error message), the VM/template is expected to be stored in a separate folder, but the second screenshot shows the files in the datastore's root folder.

Hi @a_p_ ,

Thanks for your comments, in fact the root store path was the issue, I just updated it and works.

Tks.
