When VMware starts a VM, an error is reported, indicating that the file cannot be opened.

Reference: http://space.itpub.net/4227/viewspace-524998

The specific error is as follows: Unable to open file "G: \ VMware \ oracle vault \ 11gdbsec081026 \ oracle Enterprise Linux 4. vmdk ": One of the disks in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or by a snapshot.

The error message is clearly described. It should be that the VM to be started has been started, but this is obviously impossible.

This is because the previous VM shutdown was an abnormal shutdown, and VMWare did not clear some lock information, resulting in problems. However, after checking, no special files were found. Compared with a normal VMware Vm, no special files were found. ,

If none of these problems occur, the configuration of the VM itself is incorrect. However, after the VM is shut down last time, it seems that the VM configuration has been modified. I checked the configuration carefully and found an error,The last time a disk was added to the VM, the Newly Added Disk was incorrectly directed to its own disk file. As a result, when VMware started the VM, the same disk must be mounted to two different directories of the VM.. Therefore, the above error message is displayed.

Delete Hard Disk 2 (SCSI) in the red box and start it.
