Hi everyone,
I am unable to delete/unmount local vmfs datastore. There are no vms, sioc is disabled, datastore is not used for heartbeating. The error tells that the filesystem is busy.
Just for information, I am using esxi 6.5U2 on DL380 Gen10 servers and vcenter 6.7. The esxi is installed on SD card.
Unable to figure out the root cause. Any help ??
Can the scratch location be the source of issue. I can see scratch configured location to be in same datastore in .locker directory. Just a guess
Can you check the scratch partition settings
If it is configured with current datastore, try to change it to /tmp and check to unmount the DS again.
Also check "lsof | grep '/vmfs/volumes/'" , it will show the current open files in the filesystem.
Yes, in this case you'll need to relocate the .locker directory to another datastore.

lsof command didn't return any output. Will try changing the scratch location to tmp lets see if I get any luck.
Thank you everyone. It worked, scratch configuration was the source. I changed it to /tmp and it worked.
