Hi,  any help is welcome, I appreciate you use some of your time for trying to help me.  The 3rd .vmdk is a old drive that got deleted, the file is no more existing too. the .vmx is set for not check for that disk, and that worked well. This is all I did:  - manually backep up the full folder of my VM , that you can see in the previous reply's attached file. - Replaced 6 HDD with 6 SSD inside the Server. - Uploaded back the full data of the VM. Tried to Power On, but error that cannot find file NCDeploy-000001.vmdk and NCDeploy_2-000001.vmdk. Inside the folder i had: NCDeploy-000001.-flatvmdk , NCDeploy_2-000001-flat.vmdk , NCDeploy-000001-delta.vmdk , NCDeploy_2-000001-delta.vmdk and the other files in pic. I did rebuild descriptor file pointing on those files using vmkfstools and vi using SSH. VM did power ON but on a old state, so I think it didn't attach the delta files . I have all the backup of before swap disks on my HDD. I'm not an expert, i saw someone suggested to use fakedisk and attach , but I don't really know how to fix this problem. Thanks again for trying to help me Regards, Mirko

Hello VMware community. I use VMware ESXI vSphere Client 5.5. I've changed the Hard Disks of my Server , before doing that I did take a backup of all files in Data, replaced the disks and recovered the files. I have now flat and delta files ( 2 and 2 cause it's a VM with 2 local disk drives ) if I try to run the VM it will show error with dependencies or descriptor. the files are really big ( 34gb , 41gb , 80gb , 159gb ) so I can't really upload those. if it can help I can upload .vmx file I have the full backup of the VM in my computer, so i'd like to work outside of the esxi but like in vmware workstation and when successfully recovered, i'll re-upload in my server . I will be grateful for any help.
