I just created a new virtual machine (kerio connect) on esxi 6.5 server from an existing .vmdk file.

when I try to start the virtual machine, I keep getting the following error:

Unsupported or invalid disk type 2 for 'scsi0:0'. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

Any ideas?

I solved the issue by changing the Virtual Device Node from SCSI controller 0 to IDE controller 0 at the hard disk settings of the virtual machine.
