Dear All,

I recently installed VMware ESXi 4.0 and hot cloned a Poweredge Dell 800 (2 DCs) and 2600 (1 File server) using VMware converter 4.0 but when I power on the VM they all shut down by themself, I have disabled some adpters including the NIC but still the same thing.

I also tried ESXi 3.5 and VMware converter 3.0 with similar results. These servers have reached its end of life and needs to be retired since one of the drives failed once.

Please any link, suggestions on how to fix these will be highly appreciated.
