  • 1.  Spurious insufficient disk space on datastore message

    Posted Sep 06, 2012 05:30 PM

    I am trying to perform a Storage VMotion of a VM to a datastore cluster and receiving the error message "insufficient disk space on datastore <datastore name>" for both datastores in the cluster. Both datastores have >180 GB free (of 535 GB total), and the VM has 18.37 GB used out of 19.04 GB provisioned. SDRS is set for an 80% utilization threshold.

    I haven't really used datastore clusters before; is there something I'm missing?

    when migrating you are migrting as thin?

    it might be trying to expand if you select a different disk format when moving it

    It happens no matter what format I select.
