I tried to copy the vmdk and vmx file from a original vm folder to a new vm folder on the web interface. But the size of vmdk file is only 561B. If I boot the VM I get the error "couldn't find disk file".
I also tried use the command "vmkfstools -i /vmfs/volumes/datastore/BaseVM/BaseVM.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/datastore/NewVM/newvm.vmdk", but I get a flat.vmdk in the newVM folder. And the VM could't boot, too.
I want to know what is the right way to clone a VM on a ESXI 6.5 server. Thanks.
