This article provides links to relevant documentation for resolving conditions where a virtual machine disk descriptor file is missing or invalid.
These errors can occur if a virtual machine disk (VMDK) descriptor or data file is missing or if a snapshot chain has become inconsistent.
Verify that the virtual machine disk files are present as expected.
For RDM disks, there will not be a -flat or -sesparse file for the base disk. Physical-mode RDMs will have a file in the form of vmName-rdmp.vmdk. Virtual-mode RDMs will have a file in the form of vmName-rdm.vmdk.
