Problem Description
VMWare VM Restore job failed with Error: Internal Error (#10005ffff : 7) (Error Code : VMWARE_VDDK65535).
Cause
There is insufficient space on the target datastore selected during restoration to restore the VM.
We can also encounter this error when the SCSI controller is not in order.

Resolution
Check the free space on the Destination VMWare DataStore.
Restored VM to another Destination/DataStore/ESXi.
If SCSI controllers are not in order. This is a known VMware issue: VMWare Link
Make sure the OS disks are on the SCSI controller 0 with numeric orders (such as disk 0 on scsi0:0, disk 1 on scsi0:1, disk 2 on scsi0:2...).
Add SCSI controller 1/2/3 in numeric order.
Add SATA controller 0.
Make sure there is no CDROM device.
Make sure there is no device on IDE0/1.
Make sure there is no disk/device on SATA controller.
Reboot VM.
