Cannot consolidate VM

Hello,

we use IBM SPP in order to backup VMs. This night the Host on which the backup VM is crashed...so the backup never finished. Yet, there are some machines which now need consolidation.

As there seems to be a file lock I cannot do this. I deleted The delta file present, after this the machine could not be powered on anymre, so I had to restore the file. What could I do? Running

vmkfstools

-D /vmfs/volumes/57d6b78c-5ac95456-ec3f-e41f133941d8/1_webserver/1_web

server-000004.vmdk

Addr <4, 155, 82>, gen 21623, links 1, type reg, flags 0, uid 0, gid 0, mode 600

One of the backup proxies had the vmdks still attached, I just had to remove them and then I could consolidate.
