Recover Data from a Local Desktop on page 261
VMware View secures the virtual machine of a local desktop by encrypting all of its virtual disks. If the
virtual machine's checkout identifier is deleted from the configuration, or the session or policy files
become corrupted, you might not be able to power on or check in the local desktop. You can decrypt the
local desktop's virtual machine so that you can recover data from it.
Check-Out Fails with "No Available Transfer Server" Error
When users try to check out desktops, the operations fail and an error message, No available Transfer
Server, is displayed.
Problem
The check-out can fail when the operation is approximately 10% complete, before View Transfer Server begins
transferring data to the client computer. The check-out can also fail later in the process. For example, the base
image might be transferred to the client computer, but other virtual machine disks cannot be transferred.
This problem occurs with all check-out operations that are managed by a particular View Transfer Server
instance.
Cause
This problem can occur because View Transfer Server is running on an ESX host that does not have access to
the datastores where the desktops reside. During a check-out operation, View Transfer Server transfers desktop
data from the datastores to the client computer. The datastores must be accessible from the ESX host where
the View Transfer Server virtual machine is running.
