Hi,
This is an issue with the ctk (tracker) files …you need to disable it by following the below steps
To disable CBT:
- Power off the virtual machine.
- Right-click the virtual machine and click Edit Settings.
- Click the Options tab.
- Click General under the Advanced section and then click Configuration Parameters. The Configuration Parameters dialog opens.
- Disable CBT for the virtual machine by setting the ctkEnabled value to false.
- Disable CBT for the individual virtual disks attached to the virtual machine by setting the scsix:x.ctkEnabled value for each attached virtual disk to false.
- Then shh the host and go to the directory of the VM
- Then run the command to list all the vmdks #ls | grep vmdk
- Then vi xxx.vmdk (the descriptor )and put a # before the CTK entry then save it
- Then move the ctk files that are in the VM directory to a temp folder
- Then Power on the virtual machine.
