share the output of below command to check if there are enough pointer blocks

vmkfstools -P -v 10 /vmfs/volumes/datastorename/

[Sateesh_vCloud]

I verified and confirm it has enough PTR blocks

Sateesh did you manage to resolve the problem? It seems I have the same issue. PTRs are fine, datastore is ~50% empty and getting " No Space - did not find enough resources after second pass!" message 😕
