Cannot Open The Disk '/vmfs/volumes Failed To Lock The File
Reason: Failed to lock the file. Cannot open the disk 'vmfs/volumes/x/x/x.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. There are several solutions posted for this that tell you to delete the .lck files. I don't see any .lck files. I https://communities.vmware.com/thread/467312?tstart=0 have 5 other VMs on the ESX host that work. I have been trying to replicate this VM with Veeam. It worked for a few months and then stopped working (the replication, not the VM). I checked again today to see if there were snapshots and it showed nothing. I created a snapshot to see if it would reveal the Consolidated Helper and it did. I deleted my snapshot and not the Consolidated Helper and the VM crashed, which was also the vCenter Server. When https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/155873-vmware-reason-failed-to-lock-the-file I pull it back up I get that error. Reply Subscribe View Best Answer RELATED TOPICS: File lock by which user?

I removed (but did not delete) the disk that I use as the e:drive, since it is large, 1TB. After that, I could open the VM. I shut it down, reattached the disk, opened again and got the file lock error. 0 Habanero OP B-C Sep 13, 2011 at 2:52 UTC looks like you're going to be doing a vmdk restore process... yuck! unless you have a decent backup! 0 Jalapeno OP Ryan888 Sep 13, 2011 at 3:11 UTC I don't have a recent backup because of this problem.

this post when searching for help with a VM that will not power on. This post was written for a specific scenario related to missing snapshot files, https://ardamis.com/2009/11/20/vmware-cannot-open-the-disk-xxxxxx-vmdk-or-one-of-the-snapshot-disks-it-depends-on/ but if you are merely trying to power on a VM that was working recently, you may be able to resolve the problem by simply delete any folders containing .LCK in https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27503910/VMware-Failed-to-lock-the-file-when-reverting-back-to-Snapshot.html the name from your virtual machine's folder, which would preserve any snapshot data. From time to time, I want to copy just the minimum files for a VMware virtual machine: the failed to two .vmdk files and the .vmx file. After moving those files to a new location or deleting a snapshot file, attempting to boot the virtual machine returns the following error message: Cannot open the disk ‘XXXXXX.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: The system cannot find the file specified. I've found that following the steps below fixes the failed to lock problem and allows me to boot the virtual machine as it existed at the time of creation. DO NOT USE these steps if you need to retain any changes made to the virtual machine since the last snapshot: Open the *.vmx file in a text editor and find the line that refers to the old snapshot file, which will look something like: scsi0:0.fileName = "XXXXXX-000002.vmdk" or ide0:0.fileName = "XXXXXX-000002.vmdk" Change the value to the filename of the ~1kb .vmdk file (which happens to be the same as the name of the VM). For example, if your virtual machine was named "Windows XP Professional", the line would read: scsi0:0.fileName = "Windows XP Professional.vmdk" Power on the VM. It should boot normally, but because the snapshot file is missing, the machine will boot to an earlier state.
