You can't import a vmdk directly. You have to make a new virtual machine and attach the vmdk as a hard drive.

VMDK is a HDD image - what you need is a descriptor for the VM itself... or you create one if possible.

Try creating a VM with comparable "hardware" (CPU, Memory ...) als select to not create a HDD but to use an existing... and select your VMDK.

But perhaps your migration tool (which one) supports migrating the VMX file too? What I used twiced in a running machine was the VMware converter.
