As it turns out, they are using ESXi 3.5 VM Ware server with 2003 SBS running as a VM. The error that I am receiving is [quote] Error while reading file: -3, state.tgz [/quote] I have no idea what caused this. From what I have read, a -5 error is a corrupt configuration, but a -3 is a bad raid controller. The raid controller seems to be fine but something had to cause this. At any rate, I am thinking that I need to run a ESXi repair install but am really concerned about the VM files. Anyone had any experience with this?
