Hi all
I am trying to clean up a couple of inactive dumpfiles.
I have followed instructions to do this but keep getting this error:
Unlink of file /vmfs/volumes/**********************.dumpfile failed: Device or resource busy.
I have identified the owner host via its MAC address.
Of the three dumpfiles both of the two I am trying to remove are flagged as FALSE for "active" and "configured"
I have used the flag --force but still get the above error.
Why is this saying the resource is busy if it is inactive??
thanks
Tracy
Hello Tracy,
Let's try this.
From the owner of host for the coredump file, SSH into this host:
Run the command
# esxcli system coredump file list
Both active and configured should be false
Only then
# esxcli system coredump file remove -f <path_of_file>

Tried it no go
