Thank you all for your comments. We are exclusively using Smart UPS with NIC. I will try PCNS 4 then first. Cheers Jens

Thank you. I am aware of that. What I am looking for is a simple solution for small environments w/o DRS or HA. In the past we you used to configure APC PCNS. This worked just fine: On certain UPS events, PCNS passed the shutdown command to the hosts. According to the stop/start VM settings, the host then first gracefully shut down the VM's and subsequently itself. Is there a solution under VS 6 for this ? cheers Jens
Thank you, JarryG. However I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you possible a little more detailed information? Your help is greatly appreciated. cheers Jens

Dear vNEX, thank you for your efforts. There were no snapshots present in the snapshot manager. So I removed the one disk which was present from the VM by client and added the parent disk again. The VM would then boot however crash shortly after showing the first windows server boot progress bar into a blue screen. Since this VM is mean while outdated anyway and I have to rerun the P2V conversion, how would I prevent this from happening again? Your help is greatly appreciated. Jens
Here comes the log file plus a screenshot of the "weired" vmdk file configuration. I don't quite get it. Thank you again and best regards Jens
Thank you for your reply. How would I exactly reconfigure the VM?
