Hi there,
I am trying to clear off the swap file for a VM. I have already set the "Reserve all guestmemory (All locked)" (Screenshot1) and rebooted the server but the swap file is still there in the datastore (Screenshot2).
The current memory usage is as follows (Screenshot3)
Please advise. Thanks.
Hi,
Try to do a storage vMotion and check if the swap file which is not in use might left behind in datastore and then you can delete the same.
Hi Umesh,
Unfortunately we are using the free version of ESXi 6 so we don't have Vmotion or Svmotion.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you.
Did you just reboot the VM, or did you shut it down, and power it on again?

PS: Discussion moved from vSphere noobs to VMware ESXi 6
Hi Andre,
I just rebooted it
Thanks
That may be the reason. Please shut down the guest, and then power it on again, in order for the reservation settings to take effect.
