I resized the parent disk without realizing that the VM had a snapshot. Now I am getting this error when I try to power on the VM. The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created. This is on ESX 3.0.2 any ideas on how I could recover from this?

hi,
i encounted the same problem and i solved it this way:
use text editor to open the .vmdk file, for example Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.vmdk
remove the disks added recently, for example,:
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s001.vmdk"
RW 2099200 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s002.vmdk"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s003.vmdk"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s004.vmdk"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s005.vmdk"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s006.vmdk"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s007.vmdk"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s008.vmdk"
RW 12288 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s009.vmdk"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s010.vmdk"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s011.vmdk"
RW 2101248 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s012.vmdk"
remove
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s010.vmdk"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s011.vmdk"
RW 2101248 SPARSE "Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s012.vmdk"
and start you vm again
hope it helps
and start you vm again
hope it helps
NO - that does NOT help - on the contrary - your tip will surely mess up the complete VM and it does not apply to ESX at all.
At anybody reading the last post: ignore it
