This is a core file (memory dump) of a process "gone wild".

The PID of the process was 947.

If you don't want to deal with it (which I guess) simply delete it

Ok, great, thanks.

I copied It to my PC.

By removing the file It solved my other case , se the following url.

Removing this file i freed up some space and then rebooted the host. After this, the ESX host in the case under the url provided started to be accesible again.

Im happy now 😄 5 prod servers are availble again and of which three are SQL servers ... 15 systems affected..

Thanks...
