Hello,
I'm having an issue with one of the VMs in my environment. It was hung on reset at 95% and wasn't moving. I ran ssh'd into the host the VM was running on and did a services.sh restart. Once the server came back up the VM was powered off. I removed the VM from inventory and attempted to move it back in. I believed this was because the disk files were locked because the .lck file was present. I created a backup directory and moved all unnceccsary files into that including *.log files, *.vswp, and the .lck file.
I re-added the VM back into inventory successfully and attempted to boot which failed. I suspected this was an issue with un-merged snapshots, so I took a snapshot and then used the delete all snapshots option in order to merge them all back in. This completed successfully, however now when I attempt to boot the VM I receive the error:
Virtual machine disks consoladation is needed.
I have attemped to right click the VM --> snapshot --> consolodate. This fails with the error that it is is unable to access file since it is locked, however this does not fix the problem and I am still unable to boot.
What can I try next?
Thanks.
