Diskspace problem on datastore (LUN)

[Kansarax]

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,

K.

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)
