| 2213 | There are no virtual hard disks attached to %VMName;. | To create a checkpoint, add a virtual hard disk to the virtual machine, and then try the operation again. | |
| 2214 | Checkpoint actions on virtual machine %VMName; are unsupported because one or more hard disks are shared with other virtual machines. The shared hard disks are: %ObjectList;. | Ensure that the virtual machine doesn't share any hard disks with other virtual machines. | |
| 2215 | Virtual Machine Manager must shut down the following virtual machines to create the new checkpoint: %ObjectList;.\n\nDo you want to continue? | BLANK | |
| 2216 | Checkpoint creation on virtual machine %VMName; is unsupported because the virtual machine contains virtual hard disk %FileName;, and the path length of the checkpoint disk for this hard disk will exceed %MaxLimit; characters. | Transfer the virtual machine to a location where the path is shorter, or reduce the length of the virtual hard disk's filename and try the operation again. | |
| 2217 | Checkpoint actions can be performed only for virtual machines that are on a host. Virtual machine %VMName; is in the library. | Place the virtual machine on a host and then try the operation again. | |
| 2218 | BLANK | ||
| 2219 | A new checkpoint cannot be created for virtual machine %VMName; because it is attached to one or more pass-through disks | Ensure that the virtual machine is not attached to any pass-through disks and then try the command again. | |
| 2220 | Checkpoint %CheckpointName; will be restored.\n\nDo you want to continue? | BLANK | |
| 2221 | A new checkpoint cannot be created for virtual machine %VMName;. The virtualization software on host %VMHostName; does not allow a new checkpoint to be created for a virtual machine that is paused. | Ensure that the virtual machine is running, stopped, or in a saved state and then try the operation again. | |
| 2222 | A new checkpoint cannot be created for virtual machine %VMName;. The virtualization software on host %VMHostName; does not allow a checkpoint name that exceeds %MaxLength; characters. | Specify a shorter checkpoint name and try the operation again. | |
| 2223 | A new checkpoint cannot be created for virtual machine %VMName; on host %VMHostName; because virtual machine %VMName; has one or more virtual hard disks attached to a shared SCSI adapter. | Ensure that virtual machine does not have any virtual hard disks attached to shared SCSI adapters and then try the operation again. | |
| 2400 | Unable to resolve the path %SharePath; to a physical path on %ComputerName;. | Ensure you have sufficient permissions on %SharePath; and try the operation again. | |
| 2401 | The specified path is not a valid share path on %ComputerName;. | Specify a valid share path on %ComputerName; to the virtual machine to be saved, and then try the operation again. | |
| 2402 | VMM cannot rename %FileName; because a file or folder with that name already exists. | Specify a different folder name, and then try the operation again. | |
| 2403 | VMM cannot rename %FileName; because the specified name is not valid. | A folder name cannot contain any of the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > |. Specify a valid folder name, and try the operation again. | |
| 2404 | VMM is unable to create folder %FileName;. | Verify that the folder name is valid, and that you have the permissions to create the folder.\n1) Ensure that the folder name does not contain any of the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > |.\n2) If you still cannot create the folder, contact your administrator to verify that you have the needed permissions. | |
