Hi I need to create some App Stack which need more than the default 20GB of space. This kb indicates it should be easy to create a new custom template of the size I choose. VMware Knowledge Base
However when I try to power on a vm with the template.vmdk attached I get this error:
Failed to start the virtual machine.
Module 'Disk' power on failed.
Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/vsan:5233355aa54ecd35-702649431d451a32/0fbe725b-3576-facb-106d-0050568614e7/apps_templates/template.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Disk '/vmfs/volumes/vsan:5233355aa54ecd35-702649431d451a32/0fbe725b-3576-facb-106d-0050568614e7/apps_templates/template.vmdk' cannot be opened for writing. It might be shared with some other VM.
In this specific case the template.vmdk is located on a vSAN, but had just the same issue in another environment running VMFS on SAN.
Did also try to stop App Volumes Manager Service.
In both environment I'm running 2.14.
Any suggestions?
