Hi,
So I am in an situation that for some reason we have a lot of deltas and the server needed disk consolidation done.
But when I go to start it it gives me the following error
"An error occurred while consolidating disks: msg.fileio.lock."
Now I did see the following article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2107795 but am a bit lost on how to the steps
Also I did find this following article as well https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1027876 that I could clone the latest delta file to a new vmdk
Would this clone be in essence the latest vmdk as if I did do the consolidation?
The other issue is the amount of free space, which is currently at about 500GB. and the machine consists of 2 hdd, 1 - 147GB and 1 - 500gb
I forgot to mention this is on ESXI 5.5 as well
Thanks
