permission denied to access vm folder from ssh

[UkPablo]

HI all

 

I am currently running the following VSXI version on my server.

7.0 Update 3

i currrently have OpenWRT 22.03.2 installed as a VM.

When i try and power up the VM i get the following message.

Failed to power on virtual machine OpenWRT 22.03.2. Object type requires hosted I/O Click here for more details. 

I looked into the following solutions 

Object type requires hosted I/O

VM will not power-on and throws the following error:

Object type requires hosted I/O

> SSH into the ESX-host that’s hosting the VM.

I can do this now problem

> Browse to the VM-folder containing the disk files.

I cannot get past the following 

vSphere Security documentation for more information.
[root@coolermaster:~] cd
[root@coolermaster:~] ls
altbootbank etc locker store vmfs
bin include opt tardisks vmimages
bootbank lib proc tardisks.noauto
bootpart.gz lib64 productLocker tmp
bootpart4kn.gz local.tgz sbin usr
dev local.tgz.ve scratch var
[root@coolermaster:~] cd vmfs/
[root@coolermaster:/vmfs] ls
devices volumes
[root@coolermaster:/vmfs] volumes/
-sh: volumes/: Permission denied  ---------------> this i cannot figure out?

Run the following command:

vmkfstools -x check “disk.vmdk”
Disk needs repaired

vmkfstools -x repair “disk.vmdk”
Disk was successfully repaired.

Start VM from vCenter

 

I have checked the permissions in the VM and the only user is root that has full Admin rights.

Any help would be much appreciated

As your post needs moving to the area for ESXi, I have reported it to the volunteer moderators.
