VMWARE Disk chain is not consistent: The file specified is not a virtual disk (0xf00003ebf).

When I try to run the "vmware-vdiskmanager.exe-and E: \ VM_IRPF_X \ IRPF_00.vmdk" get message:
"Disk chain is not consistent: The file specified is not a virtual disk (0xf00003ebf)."

What is it?
The file descriptor is:

  Disk DescriptorFile
version = 1
encoding = "windows-1252"
CID = FFFFFFFE
parentCID = ffffffff
isNativeSnapshot = "no"
CreateType = "twoGbMaxExtentSparse"

Hi

This is what VMware version?

Check document provided by hanccocka

You may need to edit one by one and check all CID and parentCID for each vmdk. If there is some inconsistence information(wrong parentCID ) you may need to change for the right one.

Note:

CID is always the current vmdk
parentCID  is always the previous vmdk

A second vmdk is alwyas the child.

Hope this can help
