Hi everybody,
I can´t start my virtual machine - in the vm-console I always get this error:
"unable to open either the disk /data1/win2004.vmdk or the redo log ./win2004.vmdk.REDO_jcswXA.
Failed to configure disk scsi0:3. The virtual machine cannot be powered on with an unconfigured disk.
So,
what happened ?
Long time ago I saved a snapshot of this machine. I didn´t need it anymore so in the vm-console I said "Remove snapshot".
This took some time - BUT during this my vm-ware host crashed down !
After I powered it on again I tried to start the virtual machine again - but received the error mentioned above.
Seems the disk-file ist corruped because the crash occured just during the merge of the vmdk and the redos.
So,
what´s the configuration ?
SuSE Linux 9.2 with GSX Server 3.1 on it.
The virtula machine is a Windows2003 with 3 SCSI disks configured.
So,
what´s the question ?
How can I repair a corrupted vmdk-file ????
Searched around here in the forums and found lots of people having similar problems - but I found no solution...
Best regards
