VxRail: Virtual Machine Cannot Power on After Removal of RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines

Trying to power on the issue VM gives an error: No host is compatible with virtual machine.

Powering on the VM from the host directly gives the error:  Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/vsan: xxxx/xxx.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on

The .vmdk file has included a wrong IO filter configuration. See below the ddb.iofilters = "emcsplitter" line:

Engage RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines to check issue. 
Verify that there is a valid backup of the virtual machine.

Edit issue .vmdk files, Remove the "IO filter provider" line entries from the VMDK descriptor files for virtual machines with more than one VMDK attached.  

1. Back up the issue .vmdk file.
2. Edit the issue .vmdk using vi
3. Comment out the ddb.iofilters line:

   #ddb.iofilters = "emcsplitter"
