I've also tried giving the VM the delta disk instead of the flat file but it states disk needs repair but doesn't give me any options or instructions on how to do this.
I have a copy of VMWare ESXI and VMWare Workstation so I tried loading the VM into that, as thought as its the paid version may offer some repair functionality but alas no. I also have 2 snapshot files as well if that helps. I have the following vmdk files for NAS_1 disk I've looked at some community pages about re-creating the description file but I don't think this is going to work unless I am missing something as it looks like the flat file, in this case NAS_1-flat.vmdk should be a large file as it contains that actual disk contents, however, for me its for some reason 0 bytes - I unfortunately didn't notice this. T20:09:28.446Z| vmx| I120: DISKLIB-VMFS : "/vmfs/volumes/590b9a4f-ab837c7e-4af0-941882371170/NAS/NAS_1-flat.vmdk" : failed to open (The file specified is not a virtual disk): Size of extent in descriptor file larger than real size. T20:09:28.446Z| vmx| I120: DISKLIB-VMFS : VmfsExtentCommonOpen: possible extent truncation (?) realSize is 0, size in descriptor 2684354560. If the second disk is in the virtual machine config the VM fails to boot.
#Jetty zero byte file install
The server was setup as NAS with 2 disks, one containing the OS and the other containing data for the NAS, such as network shares etc.ĭisk 1 appears to be fine, it can boot up the OS, although I think the OS install is a little corrupt but it at least tries, but only if the second disk is not included. I backed up all the VM from the server before completing the upgrade and unfortunately all the VMs that I wouldn't be too bothered if they broke are working fine, however, the 1 server that I really didn't want to break has. I recently tried to upgrade Vmware ESXI 6.0 to 6.6 which I am now rather regretting.
