Hi All,
I've the same problem here. ESXi 4.1 cluster with EQualLogic iSCSI (latest firmware).
A Datastore gone down and only 3 machines are in this state. Rebooted ESXi servers and the iSCSI SAN, without results.
I restarted from backup on another datastore, but now I cannot delete the old virtual machines.
Seems that those files are locked by one of the ESX and I cannot find a way to remove this lock (the VM is NOT running).
Somebody found a solution to force the unlock? Where ESX/VirtualCenter stores those lock?
Best regards
