disk drive missing snapshot

Hello,

Background:
Vmware Server (Windows 2012 R2 Standard) + SQL Server
Daily snapshot with Quiesce option (I know it is not recommended, especially on the server with SQL Server).

Problem:
Drive D: extended by 1GB to identify disk and then by 99GB at VMware level.
Checked in diskmanagent the 100 GB, the disk was extended and appeared "Error: Invalid Parameter when trying to extend volume" + Event ID 55.
After restarting the server, drive D: became RAW.

Solution:
Tesdisk and then chkdsk / f D: (Drive recovered its NTFS format).

Real problem:
The snapshots are taken with veritas and the problem found was that on April 11 the all vmdk + drives C: D: and E: appeared in the report, but the following snapshots, from April 12 onwards, all the VMDKs appeared but only drives C: and E:
Since April 12, there are no event ID 55 or another that will indicate problems with the disk drives, only the typical events 50, 57, 137, 140, 157 appear.

OBS: All disks are in the same datastore.

Has someone else had this problem?
