Unable to start cloned vm

$

hello,

 

I'm new in the IT world and I have some trouble cloning a VM.

So I have a sentinel one vm working on an ESXI and i want to backup it.

I choosed to use the vmkfstools command to clone it and then reinstall it.

 

My command is like

vmkfstools -i path1/vmfile.vmdk -d thin path2/vmfile.vmdk

 

Im using this command twice because i have 2 disks on this vm, one someting.vmdk and an other someting_1.vmdk

 

I also copy paste the VMX file which i think is needed to start the config.

When everything is done I try to start the cloned vm and it doesnt work, the vm stays at Starting up.

 

Do you have any idea what is wrong ?

Thank you and sorry for bad english.
