restarting Services or even Host doesn't remove the lock. it has a lock that relates to ESX itself. Searche a lot in VMWare KBs and Forums and found it may be some process and checked it using VMKFSTOOLS -D. every time I try to clone it, touch it, move it I get Invalid Argument error. after starting the ESX I could see the Datastore but after that change and start I cannot power on the machin and FLAT VMDK file is locked. tried to change the missing disk SATA port and it was available in system again. after some investigation i found one of the disks included in 2TB Extent is not available. I tried to power on a virtual machine that corresponds to this datastore and it didn't come up. the first problem was its naming and I figured out that Datastore is not available correctly.

last week we had a bad hardware restart and after restart Datastore named Vira had some issues. after a while we needed to expand it and did it using another 1TB and expanded its storage space to about 2TB. I have an ESX 6.7 which consists of a datastore named Vira nad this datastore was built over a 1TB Samsung SSD. What would happen if I simply destroy the array in RAID-controller while ESXi is running, would there be any consequences? Any idea what's the reason for not being able to unmount? The datastore is empty, is just has few files (.fbb.sf. I've tried everything I could find on Google, including lsof-ing, ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLocation setting (which previouls did point to the datastore in question, but now I switched it to point to another one). One or more VMs are registered on it')įailed - The resource 'dsarchiv' is in use. Beheben Sie das Problem und wiederholen Sie den Vorgang. The 'Unmount VMFS volume' operation failed for the entity with the following error message.ĭie Ressource 'dsarchiv' ist in Gebrauch.ĭas Volume 'dsarchiv' kann aufgrund von 'Eine oder mehrere virtuelle Maschinen sind weiterhin darauf registriert' nicht unmounted werden. I need to remove|delete a datastore ('dsarchiv') from the ESXi 6.5, but I keep getting errors saying:
