vmware-cmd Doesn't Recognize Symbolic Links to VMFS3 Volumes

Details

When I run vmware-cmd, symbolic links of VMFS3 volumes do not work. What should I do?

Solution

When you run vmware-cmd to register a virtual machine, always use the UUID path of the VMFS volume instead of the symbolic link path.

Although it is possible to register the virtual machine using the two different paths, doing so can create duplicate entries and lead to unpredictable results.
