UPDATE...   I initially thought that version updates are not platform specific.  the host is back online and has joined the cluster after downloading and installing (update)  the Dell custom updates for version 7.  This is the Dell version for the same build 17325551

Ok Experts, please help. hardware - Dell PowerEdge R640 vSphere - 6 hosts all running version 7.0 16324942 vCenter is on version 7.0.1 17005016 I downloaded and updated one of the 6 hosts to 7.0.1c build 17325551.  The update went well except that i had to add back my datastores (easy).  I tried to migrate one of the vm's back into the updated host but it's not on the list.  after a few testing, i decided to remove the host and add it back in to the cluster.  It fails telling me that it "Cannot complete login due to incorrect username or password".  I am able to login to the specific hosts GUI using the same credentials and I am able to log in.  i am also unable to SSH into the server even after enabling SSH.

Hello vMware Experts. I have Vsphere 6.5 running and having issues with HA resource warnings.  could the problem be attributed from local host datastores are mounted on vsphere in addition to the SAN Datastores that i have?  Is it safe to delete the local datastore?
Hello Suresh, It is Thin provisioned.

HI Debashish, I removed it from VM (From WIndows AND the vm settings). I should expect 6TB of disk space freed up from my datastore, but nothing has changed.  Can I delete the highlighted vmdk file?
IT does show it is related to Datastore 2 (VD2).  One thing to note.. this is configured for VMotion as well.. but vmotion wouldn't create that vm on the other Datastore would it?

Hell VMWare gurus, I have a file server that had this configuration (windows server 2012 R2) E: drive = 6TB Drive = 3 virtual disks with 2 TB each c:  Drive = 100 GB Originally, it only had 2 drives..  C and E:.  But since we were looking into Azure Site Repication, it couldn't support a single drive over 4TB.  This is why I created drive with 3 x 2TB drives.  I have since deleted and removed E: drive from the vm and would like to free up the 6TB from its Datastore.  How do I safely go about deleting the old vmdk so that I can reclaim the disk storage back.

Hello, How can I Tell which Datastore my VM is using?    I have 2 Datastores and one of the datastores (Datastore 2) have ALL the current files in it whereas the other (Datastore 1) only has one vmdk and modified date of 2016.  I am not sure how this was created.  Is it safe to assume that I can delete this old file in Datastore 1?  I've looked at the disks that the server uses and they all point to the datastore 2.
