device ide0:0 already exist

Anyone seen this error when trying to edit a VM?  Happens whether we add a disk, disconnect a NIC.   6.7 Vcenter with 6.0 hosts..

Is there anything mapped to ide0:0? If not, easier option would be to create a new VM with the same specifications (without a disk) and attach the existing disks and other necessary devices to the new VM.

Cheers,

Did you try:

  • Shutdown VM
  • Remove from Inventory
  • Register VM back to inventory

I had such issue in vSphere 6.0 and this helped.

Please mark this as "Correct" or " Helpfull" if this answers your query. Best regards, Michal
