Hello all,
I have a fairly simple setup with a 4 EXS servers connected to same NFS datastore on a NetApp storage. I have a debian template that I am deploying virtual machines from accross all hosts. The problem is all hosts get the VMs deployed normally without any problems except for one...lets call it host A. On host A when I try to deploy the VM from template, it takes a long time and it finally errors out with follwoing message
Note: This all hosts are 4.0 and are being managed from vSphere server
"Error caused by file Linux90/Linux90.vmdk"
Couple of observations:
Thie file in question Linux90.vmdk actually belongs to the template
I try to monitor the progress of VM deployment by observing my /vmfs/volume/.../ directory, I can see that files are being created for new VM however something goes wrong towards the end of the procedure that causes deployment to fail
What files can I look at in order to find the possible cause of this failure? Has anyone seen this before? Please note that there are other hosts where template is being deployed without any problems so I suspect that problem is local to hostA
