Hi;
I have had veeam error message "Snapshot Hierarchy is too deep" error. I decided clone my virtual machine. But i cannot install vcenter because of insufficent infrastructure and I decided to use SSH commands.
When I use these commands : vmkfstools -i vmfs/volumes/mydatastore/myvirtualmachinefoldername/my.vmdk vmfs/volumes/mydatastore/newmachinefoldername/new.vmdk -d thin
have error : DiskLib_Check() failed for source disk The system cannot find the file specified (25).
So. What is my problem or wrong in this situation, please advise me. Thanks...

Unless your working directory from where you execute this command is /, you would need a "/" in front of the paths.... so try:
"vmkfstools -i /vmfs/volumes/mydatastore/myvirtualmachinefoldername/my.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/mydatastore/newmachinefoldername/new.vmdk -d thin"

By the way. I have an additional little question ![]()
I have many .vmdk files in this machine. (anyway i have an error "Snapshot Hierarchy is too deep") well, which
.vmdk files have I must clone (for example my first vmdk, name.vmdk is 5 GB, name000001.vmdk is 10GB). I don't want to lost any data. Thanks again...
