Hello,
I have a server 2008 VM running SQL 7days a week and i just got a call from users saying that they can't connect. I logged into the ESXi4 host and found that the virtual machine had halted due to insufficient diskspace. I found this a bit weird since there is only one VM on that server at the moment and it only had 70Gb allocated to it (Thick Allocation). The RAID is 130Gb and there was 30Gb showing free (round numbers).
To try and free up some disk space I deleted a snapshot that I had taken after installing and patching the Server2008 OS, this took a suspiciously long time so I think it may have still been "open".
Now when I try and start the VM I get an even scarier set of errors:
Cannot power On TICKETSERVER64 on
GAIA.mydomain.local. A general system error
occurred:

Is there any way to get this VM back up and running? Thanks very much for any help!
