Why do Virtual machines are inaccessible after change in datastore?

Hi,

 

       I have two ESX 3.5 servers running which share two SAN disks. I have moved VM files of all the VM's from one SAN disk to another SAN disk using vCenter server. After moving these files, i am unable to work with virtual machines (Cannot start virtual machines). I have restarted one ESX server after moving VM files. In vCenter server, I can see that VM's are inaccessible. I have attached screen shot of the vCenter client application.

 

       For other ESX server (which I have not re started after moving VM files) VM is accessible, but if I try to start that VM, I get an error saying

*"A general system error occured : The system returned an error. Communication with VM may have been interupted."*

I am attaching the screen shot of this error also.

 

       When I installed ESX on server for first time, I had created virtual machines on hard disk of ESX server only. After that, I moved VM files from ESX hard disk to shared SAN disk.

 

Does anyone knows what is the problem?
