Virtual Machines Fail to Power On After a VMFS Upgrade
Details
After upgrading a datastore to VMFS3, I receive the following
error message when I try to power on a virtual machine: "Attempt
to power on a virtual machine with the .vmx file not stored on a NAS
or VMFS version 3 datastore. The virtual machine files must be
relocated or VMFS upgraded." How can I power on this virtual
machine?
Solution
Some of the virtual machine's .vmdk and .vmx files might
need to be relocated to the VMFS volume by using the "Relocate
Virtual Machine Files" operation in the VI Client.
