"An unexpected error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM vm-199.

Module DevicePowerOn power on failed.

Wouldn't it be easier just to use the redirect to a renamed VM/other datastore option instead of redirecting to a path?

If you must redirect to path, then what utility are you then using to upload back into VMware?
