vSAN Datastore usage on disk warning
Hi Guys,
I have a VMware cluster (3 ESXi Servers) and a vSAN configured using all the storage among these servers.
When I go to the vSAN Datastore summary usging the vSphere client it shows 8TB of free space.
But 2 events are happening that got me worried:
Event 1.
When I tried to extend a virtual hard disk in a VM the following error message happened: "The disk extend operation failed: msg.disklib.NOSPACE"
Event 2.
In the vSAN Datastore Alarms tab I have the message: "warning: Datastore usage on disk"
My Questions:
Why are these events popping up if according to the system I still have 8TB of free space?
How can I fix this issue?, preferable keeping all the space I have reserved for Virtual Disks on my VMs.
Thanking you in advance,
Cargex

Hi Luciano,
Can you please elaborate a little.
Do any of this solutions imply that I have to connect via SSH to each ESXi Server in my cluster and run those commands?
Also My VMware cluster is version 6.0
Thanks.
