Problem with storage-migrated VMs

Hi, i have a problems with VMs I migrated to another SAN Storage. I migrated them in offline state. Unfortunately the Vms have some snapshots.

I got no error during the migration, and when I have a look at the new directory on the new SAN Storage, all files were moved to it.

But when I try to turn on the VM after this, following error message appears:

"The request refers to an object that no longer exists or has never existed"

When I look at the settings, everything seems to be ok with the machine.

Does anyone know this problems ans know, how to solve it? Smiley Sad

Best regards

SVMotion with snapshots is not supported.. you probably have to create a Service Request at VMware..
