Have a single ESXi Host 5.0 and 3 VMs. Local Storage is a RAID-1 datastore, 553 GB with 256 GB free.
The Database Server VM will not power on - getting a message of "Virtual machine disks consolidation is needed" and "Insufficient disk space on datastore"
Failed to power on VM.
Could not power on VM : No space left on device.
Failed to extend swap file from 0 KB to 8388608 KB.
The VM is powered off and I can't add any space to the disk?
There are multiple 00000x.vmdk files in the datastore VM folder?
We are using Veeam for backups and there should not be any VMware snapshots.
Screenshot of datastore attached.
Please help!
