		+	=fix broken vms=
		+	==create vm shell==
		+	first step is to create the virtual machine shell. I'm doing this through the webui. no need to start the vm or attach an iso.
		+	==clone vmdk==
		+	ssh into esxi host, go to the datastore folder containing the new vm and delete both vmdk files:
		+	<nowiki>ie.
		+	~$ rm -rf ncwv-gitlab01_1.vmdk
		+	~$ rm -rf ncwv-gitlab01_1-flat.vmdk</nowiki>
		+	Now we can clone the vmdk from the old vm folder to the new one.
		+	<nowiki>~$ vmkfstools -i ../ncwv-gitlab01/ncwv-gitlab01.vmdk ./ncwv-gitlab01_1.vmdk -d thin</nowiki>
		+	==power on vm==
		+	Once the old vmdk is cloned to the same vmdk name the new vm uses, it should be ready to power on.
