Hello,

i found a nice KB:  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=100249...

theire you see the infos about

  • Virtual disk descriptor. In the following example: examplevm.vmdk
  • Virtual disk extent. In the following example: examplevm-flat.vmdk

i personally didn't knewed that it's possible to change the vDisk name  with "vmkfstools -ESmiley Wink  > this process seems to be also changing the Pointer info inside the Descriptor file

So important is that everything is renamed to you're new Wished VM Name Smiley Wink. after that it should be no problem to register the VM again.

Best regards

Max
