1、根据tang2-flat.vmdk 文件大小107374182400 生成vmdk磁盘引导文件
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2] vmkfstools -c 107374182400 -d thin temp.vmdk
Create: 100% done.

2、删除-flat.vmdk实际磁盘文件，保留.vmdk磁盘引导文件**
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2] rm -f temp-flat.vmdk

3、重命名新生成的磁盘引导文件为丢失的文件名称
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2] mv temp.vmdk tang2.vmdk
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2] ls -l

确认主磁盘为 RW 209715200 VMFS “tang2-flat.vmdk”
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2] vi tang2.vmdk

# Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
encoding="UTF-8"
CID=fffffffe
parentCID=ffffffff
isNativeSnapshot="no"
createType="vmfs"

 # Extent description
RW 209715200 VMFS "tang2-flat.vmdk"

 # The Disk Data Base
#DDB

ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"
ddb.geometry.cylinders = "13054"
ddb.geometry.heads = "255"
ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"
ddb.longContentID = "dd1fc9f492c51eb078deb1b8fffffffe"
ddb.thinProvisioned = "1"
ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 91 4b f7 a2 67-9d 42 aa b1 50 cf fe d0"
ddb.virtualHWVersion = "13"

[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2]

4、修改次级磁盘引导文件如下，parentCID=fffffffe 修改为主磁盘引导文件中的CID
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2] vi tang2-000001.vmdk

# Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
encoding="UTF-8"
CID=daed5d66
parentCID=fffffffe
isNativeSnapshot="no"
createType="seSparse"
parentFileNameHint="tang2.vmdk"
 # Extent description
RW 209715200 SESPARSE "tang2-000001-sesparse.vmdk"

 # The Disk Data Base 
#DDB

ddb.grain = "8"
ddb.longContentID = "d6bf9759610883dad09509d5daed5d66" 
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2] cat tang2-000001.vmdk 
 # Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
encoding="UTF-8"
CID=daed5d66
parentCID=fffffffe
isNativeSnapshot="no"
createType="seSparse"
parentFileNameHint="tang2.vmdk"
 # Extent description
RW 209715200 SESPARSE "tang2-000001-sesparse.vmdk"

 # The Disk Data Base 
#DDB

ddb.grain = "8"
ddb.longContentID = "d6bf9759610883dad09509d5daed5d66"

[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2]

5、检查主vmdk文件的磁盘链配置是否正确
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2] vmkfstools -e tang2.vmdk
Disk chain is consistent.

6、再检查检查次级vmdk文件的磁盘链配置是否正确
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/e9f402/tang2] vmkfstools -e tang2-000001.vmdk
Disk chain is consistent.

如果配置错误会有如下报错信息：

大功告成，在控制台正常开机！
