Dear folks,
Another wierd situation I ran into this morning. We have an ESXi 4 with several VM's running. As I tried to open the console of one of the VM's running Oracle Enterprise Linux, I got the following error message:
Unable to connect to the MKS: Virtual machine config file does not exist.
The ESXi we have has 2 datastores. I browsed the datastore where the VM was stored but was surprised to see that there was no folder for this VM at all. I couldn't find the VM folder in the other datastore as well. Nobody has access to the datastore but me and I am pretty sure that I didn't delete the folder.
The strange thing is that the VM is running and I can access all the services. This VM is running a Content Server and I cannot afford to shut it down. I know that if I shutdown this VM I will not be able to power it back up.
Can anybody help me in this regard?
