Anyone can help

Hello,

Sounds like two issues.... 1) HA appears to not be working. if this is a two node cluster you must have VC 2.5 Update 3 installed with the 10/3 update to ESX. 2) You may not have enough space on the VMFS to create the swap file. I would verify you have the appropriate space on the VMFs, that there are no locks, etc.

I believe you get that message when there is a process out there holding a lock on this VM, possibly on one of your other hosts.

This is one thread talking about this topic.
