I have one simple ESXi5 server with only local disks in raid5 type. Today I tried to add a 1.2T virtual disk to a VM, then I shutdown this VM and add virtual disk as normal method(default setting). After assigned the 1.2T disk(no error finished), the datastore still has above 400GB free.
Then I found this VM cannot be power on . The event log show about " the curren status of the host can't execute this operation" . After I reboot the host, the all VMs can't be power on with same event log, but no error message or alarm apperaed.
I deleted the 1.2T disk form that VM, and reboot host again, that everything is OK.
So, I tried to create two 600GB disk for that VM, and reboot the host. I found the VMs startup very very slowly and I can't open the datastore to check. The host can't be shutdown or no response to shutdwon operation.
Now I can't reboot host , can't delete the two 600GB disk , can't startup all VMs (maybe just response slowly) .
It's such a weird issue to me , I think it's just a simple esxi system with few VMs , and my operation was just add virtual disk to a exist VM.
Any master could give me some suggestion, please thanks.
