Re: I thought I understood how VMs live in the datastores, but maybe not...

Thanks for advice. Downloading  RVTools now....will run.

 

I am finding another VM with odd folders and files on datastores.

 

The VM is named "emgr01" and has a disk defined on Datastore01 in a folder named "emgr01_1".

Datastore01 has the "emgr01_1" folder containing the emgr01.vmdk file provisioned for 40GB and in use. This datastore also has a folder named "emgr01" with a 0 byte file named "emgr01_1.vmdk" provisioned for 60GB.

 

The VM also has a  hard disk defined on Datastore02 in a folder named "emgr01". In this folder is a file named "emgr01_1.vmdk" provisioned at 128GB and in use.

 

This VM has no snapshots under snapshot manager.

 

I believe it will be safe to delete the 0 byte vmdk file and its folder. I will use RVTools to verify that this is a zombie situation.
