Test Failover VM not booting (91340)

Unable to boot a replicated VM from a P2V source VM

This usually happens when a Physical Machine was converted to a VM using VMware Converter.

According to FB8434 this cannot be resolved by vRanger.

We have no access to disk geometry via their API.

Edit the disk geometry of the replicated VM and match it to the original descriptor file.

Each VMDK is made up of 2 files:

1. *.vmdk (the "header" file. This is the file that tells ESX(i) host how to read the *-flat.vmdk data file)
2. *-flat.vmdk (data file)

For example:

# Disk DescriptorFile
version=3
encoding="UTF-8"
CID=d9495e4c
parentCID=ffffffff
isNativeSnapshot="no"
createType="vmfs"

# Extent description
RW 41943040 VMFS "SMTP_Test01-flat.vmdk"

# Change Tracking File
changeTrackPath="SMTP_Test01-ctk.vmdk"

# The Disk Data Base
#DDB
