With this message, this issue needs further troubleshooting. When trying to consolidate (with VM power down) the disks, I get: “An error occurred while consolidating disks: -DISKLOCKED”. Sometimes is needed to power off the VM so that all vmdk locks are free and VM can consolidate all snapshots. All we need to do is click in the VM and the “Snapshot – Consolidate” option we can fix this issue. If this doesn’t help, check who has locked the virtual machine files.Today one of our vCenter DB VMs we had a warning with the following message: “Virtual Disk Consolidation is required.” This is normal in a VMware farm and happens sometimes (this could be caused by too many snapshot, very old snapshots or snapshot that were not properly removed). To do it, connect to the ESXi host via SSH and run this command: In this case, VMware recommends restarting Management agents on the ESXi server.
Consolidation failed for disk node ‘scsi0:0’: Failed to lock the file.Ĭonsolidate virtual machine disk files - Unable to access file since it is locked. An error occurred while consolidating disks: Failed to lock the file. In some cases, when performing a consolidation you may see this error in the vSphere console: Unable to access file since it is locked. After that, the warning of the VM consolidation will disappear.
When consolidation is performed, data from the delta disks are merged with the main disk and unnecessary files on the storage are removed. Wait for the “ Consolidate virtual machine disk files” task to complete. During consolidation, VM performance may degrade. The consolidation process can take a long time depending on the size of the VM, the number of snapshots, and the current host/datastore load.
Then vCenter will consolidate disks and clear the logs. Are you sure you want to continue?Ĭonfirm that you want to delete the redundant logs. This operation consolidates all redundant redo logs on your virtual machine. A window with the following request appears: Confirm Consolidate
