VMDK file xxxxTSS001_1-000002.vmdk which was attached to VDP and not unlocked after backup complete in this view has different date than other VMDK files in VM folder. Some tips which we can use for this is use this command on every ESXi host ( yes i know if we have many hosts in cluster this is not the best solution but is some way): Is not easy to find where some VMDK is attached (locked) in VSAN configuration. Now, the VM is showing a warning message that the disk needs consolidation. Manually removed attached before VMDK file resolved problem. 06-20-2022 08:59 AM Virtual Machine disks consolidation is needed Hello, I have a VM on a vSphere 5.x server and I was running a backup task from Veeam that I had to manually stopped. In this case for some reason this VMDK file xxxxTSS001_1-000002.vmdk wasn’t unlocked after backup and that was source of problem. How we saw this time locked file xxxxTSS001_1-000002.vmdk related was with VDP appliance “xxxxVDP001” which during backup proccess always temporary attach VMDK files in VM which is during backup task. VMDK file xxxxTSS001_1-000002.vmdk which was attached to one of disk “Hard Disk 6” in VM “xxxxVDP001” ( vSphere Data Protection ) was causing locking error during consolidation process.Īfter manually removed “Hard Disk 6” from VM “xxxxVDP001” ( vSphere Data Protection ) consolidation process completed successful.
