VMWARE crash on

HP Proliant DL380 Gen 9

ESXi VMWARE 6.0

Hello, I can't attach an image on the forums here but perhaps someone will understand what I am talking about. With our VMWARE setup, you'll notice I have opened up DATASTORE1. Inside the SQL VM you will see the following files.

SQL_1.vmdk is 500GB. This is where our SQLVM DB is located. The missing file is SQL_0.vmdk which was about 3.48 GB and that contains our Boot disk. Without the boot disk we cannot boot into the VM and extract anything from SQL_1.vmdk.

So the question is whether we can actually access that SQL_1.vmdk file by creating a new VM and moving it over? ( Thus we need the new SSD in there ). OR, we are out of luck.

Thank you!

Jim
