Hello, I have performed a warm conversion of a physical server with WMWARE converter which ended in two files &quot;server.vmdk&quot;, &nbsp;and the config file &quot;server.vmx&quot; <br />
<br />
I have copied these to my ESX server and added the vmx file to my inventory and now have a virtual machine.<br />
<br />
When I start the VM it reports <br />
<br />
'Invalid scsi device type &quot;plainDisk&quot;<br />
Failed to configure scsi0<br />
<br />
Not sure what to do next.<br />
<br />
Any help much appreciated<br />

Invalid scsi typ&quot; after importing physical image to ESX server

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
