Local Datastore Completly Utilized.

Hi All,

I recently came across a client system where his local datastore is completely utilized. Since there was no space left in the local datastore it has now moved to an inaccessible state. I tried to access the local datastore via SSH as well but its not letting me in the datastore.

[root@esxi1:/vmfs/volumes] cd "DATASTORE-ESXi"
-sh: cd: can't cd to DATASTORE-ESXi: No such file or directory

Is there any way possible to access or format the local datastore or the only option is the reinstall the ESXi.

I will be very grateful for any suggestions.

Version: 7.0 Update 2

Thank You.

Use the tab button to complete the correct path.

For the space utilized, di you remove the snapshots?

Hi,


Thanks for the response.


I did try with the "", but its not allowing me to get inside the datastore. The catch is there is no VM in that particular datastore.
