I still have one datastore I cannot delete from vcenter.I
Vmware Remove Inaccessible Datastore
can mount, unmount and browse the datastore, but for some reason, it cannot be removed. It gives me an error Call "HostDatastoreSystem.RemoveDatastore" for object "datastoreSystem-85" on vCenter Server "MyvCenter01" failed. And the Tasks say "An error occurred during host configuration".There should be no active data on the datastore (last writes call "hostdatastoresystem.removedatastore" for object on vcenter server failed. more than year ago).Any advices how to troubleshoot this on?Also, as a workaround, is there any harm done, if I simply unmount the datastore and after that unpresent and delete it from EVA ?Thanks in advance--kari 3592Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final.

Google+So, I was busy humming along, dividing some hosts between a production vCenter server and the new disaster recovery (DR) vCenter server that I had just installed. As part of this process, datastore conflicts with an existing datastore I had mounted DR datastore, moved the virtual machines that
Remove Datastore From Vcenter
I needed to run in DR over to their new locations, and was now busy unmounting the production datastores. But, one of the NFS datastores was being stubborn. Why couldn’t I use the Delete button from within the Configuration tab https://communities.vmware.com/thread/460907?start=0&tstart=0 | Datastore link? Why couldn’t I right-click this particular datastore and select the Unmount menu item?The entire error message read, “An error occurred during host configuration. See the error stack for details on the cause of this problem. Call “HostDatastoreSystem.RemoveDatastore” for object “datastoreSystem-415”. An unknown error has occurred.”What in the world http://www.orionscache.com/2015/06/an-error-prevents-datastore-from-dismounting/ did that error mean? At least it was consistent. Any of the hosts on which I attempted to remove this particular datastore produced the same error message. I went browsing the contents of the datastore, and found that it contains the Scratch Space for all the hosts! No wonder they refused to dismount it. Didn’t know you could setup Scratch Space on NFS? Goto this blog for the steps:http://www.orionscache.com/2012/05/how-to-setup-vmware-scratch-space/Obviously, the answer to my problem was to move the scratch space location of the hosts designated for DR, and then unmount the datastore that I no longer wanted attached. That brings me to another point: it is best practice not to have remote datastores mounted. Think what a network bottleneck I would have created if I had not attempted to dismount this production datastore? My next step was going to be to physically move these hosts, and if they were still reac

Following Follow VMware error messages Thanks! We'll email youwhen relevant content isadded and updated. Following Follow VMware ESXi I have tried removing my VMDatastore1 in order to recreate an error it and increase the block size. I am getting the following message ' ERROR DURING THE CONFIGURATION OF HOST: DESTROYVMFSDATASTORE: CANT DELETE PARTITION 3 ON LUN vmhba2:0:0'. Is this some sort of registry from when it was first created? On the properties tab there is information under the Extent Device pane relating to Primary Partitions, any help would be very much appreciated.

If it is shared storage make sure all hosts that have the datastore configured have it removed from their configuration. For both make sure all VMs are shutdown. If this is local storage then after you have the VMs shutdown (or deleted) try restarting the host to remove any disk locks and then remove the volume. ESX 3.5.0 has a bug that will cause the delete of the datastore to fail. You can see the error if you look in /var/log/vmware/hostd-*.log and see something like:
