"Unsupported and/or invalid disk type 8"

[CNBarnes]

This weekend I had a disk crash on my server where I store the image files for my virtual machines.

I have an old copy (6 months) of the virtual machine from when we

migrated back in October of last year from VMWare server :smileyshocked: to our now ESXi 4 server. I copied that over, but

when I started it I am now getting the message:

Failed to open disk scsi0:0: Unsupported and/or invalid disk type 8.

Did you forget to import the disk first? Unable to create virtual SCSI

device for scsi0:0.

I would love to "import the disk" .... if I knew what that meant. ?:|

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

The best bet here is to download the VMware standalone converter and convert the VMware Server guest to the ESXi host

Having read other threads, I have actually already begun doing just that. will report back with results.
