We had an unexpected shutdown of our ESX environment and were able to recover most of the VMs.
Two, unfortunately, came up with the dreaded "invalid vm" description.
I looked for some suggestions on this forum and they said to remove the vm from inventory and then add it back into inventory.
Tried that but when I try to add it back, I get the following message:
"A virtual machine or template having the same name is already registered.
Server error: The specified key, name, or identifier already exists."
Found this KB and tried it:
No go...still the get the same message....
HELP !!!!!
