Hello All,
I am running VMware server v1.0.1 build 29996. After shutting down one of my VMs I get this error when trying to start it.
VMware Server unrecoverable error: (vmx)
NOT IMPLEMENTED
C:/ob/bora-29996/pompeii2005/bora/lib/disklib/sparseChecker.c:1231
....
Now I first thought this was a error with my VM as my other VM works fine. So I restored VM from tape and then did a system state restore as VM is a domain controller. Powered up VM without an issue and all worked sweet. Have left it a few days and was thinking I would backup my VM again just to be sure so I would not have to spend so much time restoring if there was a problem. Shut VM down, copied files. What do you know VM has same error when powering up. So googled the issue and found a few posts that were not extactly the same errors but were close. Nothing worked. Tried removing hdd from VM and re-attaching, no luck. Re-installed / repaired VM server, no luck. I don't want to do a restore of my VM again if I can help it as I do not think it is my vm. Even if I do I think it will die when I power it off. Has anyone else had this error or similar? I have the log files and dump files but don't know what I am looking at. Any help would be very much appreiciated.
TIA
