Good morning everybody,
I'm trying to copy a VM from a pendrive into a ESXi 5.5 cluster (from Windows Server 2012R2).
I'm trying to import a VM from a pendrive into an ESXi 5.5 cluster. I can't copy the vmdk files and I am getting the errormessage "the operation experienced a network error".
The source folder contains a group of files with a vmdk extension, i. e. the guest is named "Server0", and the files are named "Server0-s001.vmdk" to "Server0-s032.vmdk". Their sizes vary from 4.3GB down to 589,8KB. These files do not copy into the datastore, I am getting error message "the operation experienced a network error".
The rest of the files (vmx, vmxf and so on) copy, and I can add the VM to my inventory. It's in an undefined state and doesn't start. It has a virtual HDD of 160GB (provisioned), while the actual used size is roughly the sum of the s<XXX>.vmdk files mentioned above.
Why can't I copy those files into the datastore?
TIA
Matthias
