The object has already been deleted or has not been completely created

[maxpil01]

Hello,

I am getting this error when removing a datastore from a host. What I noticed is that this happens when another datastore (on a different datastore) removal is happening at the same time on the host. Is there any work-around for the issue? Here is the full error

SOAP Fault:

                                 }, 'ManagedObjectReference' )

               }, 'ManagedObjectNotFound' );

Do you mean that you have two processes both deleting the same datastore?

Generally I'd do a Try::Tiny or eval { } block around the call to capture things like that and avoid a runtime error.
