So I have an issue that is spanning different things.
Working with vCenter 6.5 with ESXi 6.5 hosts.
I have a WIndows 2008 Server VM that is around 2.8 TB, however the data stores setup are only allocated 1.9 TB of space. It has 5 disks, 4 of them on one data store and another disk on
another data store. There are a total of 25 to 30 data stores that vCenter can see. Each data store has around 1.9 TB of space allocated.
Before I arrived, folks were creating nested snapshots and not deleting them. I've cleaned up all of the snapshots, however its having issues and I need to consolidate disks. I am not able to consolidate the disks.
I've tried to migrate VMs from one data store to another, and I'm not able to. I thought this was an option, but its not working.
There is a data store with no VMs or data on it. Am I able to delete the data store, not cause any issues with deleting it and then re allocate the space to the data store where the Windows 2008 VM lives, so I can consolidate the disks?
Will there be an issue with having datastores over 1.9 TB? I'm still not sure what the end storage is. I can't tell if it is SAN or the servers where the ESXi hosts live.
