Love Support,
every bit a hardware problem (already replaced the HDD), i need consolidation one VM virtual motorcar.
Earlier consolidation, i remove one snapshot from that VM virtual machine and shutdown the AcronisAppliance
Later on consolidation, i fail to poweron the AcronisAppliance with below error
Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/51375c99-24a9e19c-f506-6cae8b1f7552/guest1/guest1-000002.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Failed to lock the file
Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/51375c99-24a9e19c-f506-6cae8b1f7552/guest1/guest1_1-000004.vmdk' or 1 of the snapshot disks it depends on.
The system cannot find the file specified
VMware ESX cannot observe the virtual disk "/vmfs/volumes/51375c99-24a9e19c-f506-6cae8b1f7552/guest1/guest1_1-000004.vmdk". Verify the path is valid and try again.

The system cannot find the file specified
VMware ESX cannot detect the virtual disk "/vmfs/volumes/51375c99-24a9e19c-f506-6cae8b1f7552/guest1/guest1-000004.vmdk". Verify the path is valid and try once more.
guest1-000002.vmdk should be consolidation VM auto file, not AcroncisAppliance.
any suggestion for this?
Do i demand remove all the log in AcronisAppliance to clear previous error?
please advise.
Give thanks you.

Hi Sun,
According to your description the following happened - the VMs were backed upwards by appliance in hot-add mode, so the backed upwards virtual disks were attached to apparatus. Then the appliance was turned off and the snapshots of the backed up VMs were consolidated which caused the disk paths to be updated. Therefore appliance tries to start up, refers to old paths of the attached virtual disks (the backed up VM disks) and fails to starting time when information technology cannot observe information technology.
Y'all need to remove these paths from the appliance configuration as described in the post-obit KB article: https://kb.acronis.com/content/32611 . It refers to a unlike product, but the concept is exactly the aforementioned: edit the apparatus from vSphere client->remove the attached disks references (there must be simply ii disks left: 1 and 2/4GB in size).
Give thanks you.

Beloved Vasily,
Seem to be the example you mention
in my screen capture, the existing acronisappliance has disk iii, disk 4, disk v created which link to a deleted vmdk
so the solution is i click "Remove" for deejay 3, deejay four, disk 5, right?
then startup the acronisappliance, it should return normal
Give thanks you for your advise.

Hi Sun,
Yes, these disks from other VMs must be removed from apparatus configuration. Brand sure you lot do Not remove them "from disk" - just remove them from configuration (that's the default choice in vSphere client when removing). Also the appliance local disk number may be 1 + 6 in your instance, since the 2nd deejay is connected to SCSI 1:0 slot while backed upwardly disks are normally attached to SCSI 0:X - verify the disk location path earlier removing information technology.
Thank yous.

Love Vasily,
Thanks.
Acronis VM appliance startup commonly afterwards remove disk 3,4,five
But scheduled fill-in face some other error once more
The task haltup at around 7% after 4mins the chore start, same status over 24hrs, then i cancel it
Task messge bear witness
Error code:46
Message: Forced sector-by-sector manner.
Mistake code:22
Message: Block bitmap is corrupted.
This time i alllow it to cancel and remot the snap shot, seem the acronis appliance is normal this fourth dimension
For backup mistake, the error relate to VMDK file?
Do i need to run chkdsk drive: /r to repair the windows file construction?
Seem it is the same as final time.
From kb.acronis.com/content/36993, i have no idea which solution should i accept?
whatever advise?
Thanks.

Howdy Lord's day,
The "Forced sector-past-sector style." message doesn't seem to be the root cause hither. The chore is likely to fail on disk hotadd event, when the backed upwardly virtual disk is attached to appliance. Looks like hither there is something incorrect with the deejay attachment to particular apparatus. I'd recommended to try to deploy a fresh new appliance and effort backing up the same car via connecting to this apparatus directly from Acronis Backup direction console.
Thank you lot.
