  • 1.  Unable to enumerate all disks

    Posted Aug 16, 2022 08:43 AM

    Hello,
    I encountered the following problem today. After deleting the disk data with IBM IMM, I did not delete the disk from the virtual machine and now the virtual machine does not want to start. He writes the following message:
    Failed to power on virtual machine Win. Unable to enumerate all disks. Click here for more details.
    If I want to remove the missing disk from the virtual machine, it displays the following message:
    Failed to reconfigure virtual machine Win. Unable to access file [datastore1] Win/Win_4.vmdk

    could you advise me how to remove the lock from the 4.vmdk file, or how I can remove the disk from the virtual machine?

    Thank you for any your help!

     Problem si solved via vmware technician support, Thank you for your help 

    Solution : 

     

    • We checked the virtual machine, it was not powering on due to an error unable to enumerate all disks.
    • After checking we tried to remove the disk 11 which Customer wanted to remove, but the VM was showing that it cant access disk 12,.
    • After discussing this issue with the customer, we found out that he removed physical disks from the IMM (integrated management console related to lenovo).
    • We were able to power on the VM after removing disks 11 and 12 from the VM.
    • As discussed we think that the disks removed from IMM had also disk 12 that is why the VM was not able to access it.
