A few weeks ago, my VCenter Server had a snapshot that was so large that it corrupted my VM while trying to remove it. I decided I could just reload the VM as it was only Virtual Center Server. However, I wanted to save one drive as it had some important information. I copied the vmdk to another datastore and reloaded my VM. Then I tried to access the saved VMDK by adding it as a new hard drive. This fails with error: Failed to Lock the file myfile.vmdk Cannot open the disk myfile.vmdk or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
My server is on a closed network and I am unable to attach the log files.
I tired searching the net but have been unable to find a solution.
Thanks in advance to whomever can help me.
