Hello,
We have a big problem with one of our VMs.
We are using Symantec BackupExec 2014 and this seems to cause massive problems with the VMDK Files.
The thing is, this special VM does have thausands of vmdk Disk files spreaded up into 4MB blocks.
That caused that this vm was so extremely slow, that we were unable to work with it.
So, what you do first? right.. try to turn off and on..
But this time: ERROR. Nothing happens. The machine won't start.
I'd try to have a look into the vm-folder on the SAN volume. But even here nothing happens. just hundreds of "........."
So I tryed to downlaod the whole folder. Here I recognized about the thausands of vmdk files. After that I canceled the copy and started to consolidate the Disk-files.
after 4.5 hours (every 10 minutes it stepped forward 1%) the system stopped the process with error 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
I tryed to find a solution in the web. But nothing about this kind of problem yet.
does somebody have an advice? Or better, a solution that would suite us?
thanks in advance
