Diskspace problem on datastore (LUN)

Kansarax Jan 25, 2014 2:03 AM

Hi,

I hope someone can help...

Since this morning a datastore is full (only 20 MB Free) and the production machine is down.

I tried to delete the snapshots, but I don't have enough space for that...

I want to move 1 Disk to another datastore.

Can someone tell, step by step, how to do that? We are using ESXi 3.5

Thanks a lot,

Prior to recommend any actions, it's important to fully understand the current situation. Please provide details about the datastore and the VM's files.
A complete list of files in the VM's folder. Either the output of ls -lisa from the command line or - if this isn't possible - a screenshot of the datastore browser window with all columns, i.e. names, sizes, time stamps!
Are there other VM's on the same datastore which you can temporarily power off (basically to temporarily free up some disk space used by their .vswp files)
