    I have a littl issue that i could use some help with. i have an IBM N3600 SAN (AKA NetApp fas 2050) and i tried to align a VM with the mbralign tool. I tried to use the flat.vmdk file and it creates a backup. I now have issues with the VM and it won't start. Can i rename the flat.vmdk file to the normal vmdk file and be back to normal? I don't want to try it until i have a clue it's safe. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Yes, just rename the backup vmdk file to its original name.

    Windows XP. I was just curious about the renaming since i didn't user the original ***.vmdk and i used the ***-flat.vmdk. That's what i was curious about. Thanks
