vmdk duplicated ?

[pvelasco85]

Hi,

I have only one ESX node (ESX3.5) managed with VCenter.

ESX have a LUN presented via NFS (2TB) with 3 data virtual disks

- Iis01 (500GB)

- Dc02_1 (500GB)

- DC02 (500GB)

The problem is Datastore do not have free space!

If I browse datastore, I see 3 LUNs, and another LUN with name * DC02-flat.vmdk *.

No virtual servers that are accessing DC02-flat.vmdk, but I'm not sure to remove this LUN manually.

Any suggestion??

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

If you are seeing the "-flat" in the filename this is not a disk anymore. You can delete it - anyway, if a VM is still using it and it is powered on you will not be able to remove it.

I wouldn't be too sure about that...
