VMWare ESXi cannot connect virtual disk

Hi!

Just testing Smartdeploy.

We have ESXi with VSphere 5.5.
I ins​talled a new Win7 x64 machine with no snapshots. Powered off the machine. Copied the virtual files on a place where I can Access it via Smartdeploy. Is this correct to copy the files ? Because when I copy the files with VSphere to another place the xxx.vmdk file is automatically renamed to xxxx-flat.vmdk

With the Capture Wizard I selected the virtual disk. Then I get the message: "Unable to connect to the virtual disk"

Thanks for help

Ciao Simon

Simon,

You can capture the virtual reference machine when it’s powered on. To do so, boot the virtual reference machine to the C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartDeploy\SmartDeploy Enterprise\SmartDeploy_x86.iso. Select the capture option and capture the image to a network share, which can also be the local host. Let us know your results. This process is documented in the User Guide on page 49.

Thanks,

SmartDeploy Support
