vmdk showing 00000x-vmdk

[tdubb123]

I got a vm with 2 vmdks showing vm-0000x.vmdk

I tried consolidating and nothing happens. why is the 00000 in the vmdk file?

A file named VMDK-NAME-00000*.vmdk is very likely a snapshot file for the vmdk VMDK-NAME.vmdk
If you check via ssh or WinSCP you will then see that there are:
VMDK-NAME-00000*.vmdk
VMDK-NAME-00000*-delta.vmdk
and
VMDK-NAME.vmdk
VMDK-NAME-flat.vmdk
Anyway - you seem to have at least one snapshot.

Hi,

From SSH on ESXi host, you could verifie your VMX file and show witch VMDK are attached on this VM.

# cat MyPathTOvmxFile.vmx | grep -i vmdk

Thank you,
