When I've had problems converting/moving virtual disks, I've sometimes resorted to backing up the VM by booting it into clonezilla. Then building an appropriate VM on the new hypervisor, and restoring via the clonezilla image. On Mon, Sep 06, 2021 at 12:27:35AM -0500, Steve Jones wrote: > If

If the vmx is problematic, the vmdk is irrelevant. Virtualbox is the last resort. Get the vmdk in there, dick with the vmx til it boots and use VMware converter. Set aside 14 hours and a case of Miller light for this. Virtual box is where incompetence such as mine shines. On Sun, Sep 5, 2021,

It's a HP DL380G7 with 6 140GB disks in a Raid10.  Wouldn't the Raid controller recognize the error and fail the drive? Although I don't think I've ever had a hard drive fail 'gracefully'  For me they usually go from working fine to preventing the machine from POSTing with no middle ground.

I just tried to copy the VMDK file to another folder on the same datastore, and it stopped copying at about 25GB out of the 33GB file.  The same time that it stops on my other copy methods.  Does this mean the VMDK file is corrupt?  The Virtual server itself seems to be running fine. On
