Hi all

I have a big problem with a vmachine consolidation.

The vmachine is stored in an esxi 6.7 and have 2 vdisk (40 gb and 7Tb).

i try to consolidate but in the process of consolidation an electrical issue in restarted the host while the consolidation was in progress.

Now i can´t start the vmachine and the consolidation process finish ay 38 -45% with error "Unable to access file since it is locked" - "

Error stack:

An error occurred while consolidating disks: One or more disks are busy."

My host freeze and i have to restart host to try again. At this moment a new consolidation process is at 11%.

I need to recover some files but i´m unable to start the vmachine, is there any alternative to access this files if the consolidation process goes error again or is better to wait 1 or 2 days ?

Thanks in avance
