Hello,
I have an image I couldn't start.
When I tried started it it says "Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/53dc38ab-6e9cfdfd-cea6-0019b9ef71fe/Whistler2/Whistler2-000001.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
5 (Input/output error)
When I tried copy the vmdk file to another location it says "Error caused by file" - '/vmfs/volumes/53dc38ab-6e9cfdfd-cea6-0019b9ef71fe/Whistler2/Whistler2-000001.vmdk'
I tried running voma to fixed the device the vmdk is on and it found 102668 "ON-DISK ERROR: FB inconsistency found: (4126,154) allocated in bitmap, but never used" but fixed none.
Like below:
ON-DISK ERROR: FB inconsistency found: (4126,154) allocated in bitmap, but never used
Total Errors Found: 102668
Total Errors Fixed: 0
Total Partially Fixed errors: 0
I also ran "vmkfstools -x repair '/vmfs/volumes/53dc38ab-6e9cfdfd-cea6-0019b9ef71fe/Whistler2/Whistler2-000001.vmdk'"
but it says the disk is error free.
Anything else I should do ? Is there any other way I should try to recover the vmdk file?
