Editing VMDK File Extent using Vi

Guys,

Question, I'm novice VMware Engineer here Smiley Wink

I'm trying to edit the VMDK File using VI Editor.

sample CLI

vi /volumes/datastore/vmfolder/vmname.vmdk

Upon entering the correct path and file name, I keep getting the word

'vi /volumes/datastore/vmfolder/vmname.vmdk' is not a regular file

Any idea guys how I can override, is it something about the permission? but am using root account, I wanted to edit the VMDK Extent.

Thanks in advance,

JOf
