I don't entirely understand how you want us to fix this. Essentially this is just bad planning.<br />
<br />
You could change your disks from Eager zero to thin provision, that could possibly recoup some space.

When you say you installed a new hard drive, care to explain a bit?<br />
<br />
What type of host is this? I'm assuming it's a server, did you add two disks and then set it up in a RAID array or did you just throw in a new disk and left it as JBOD?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

It's not providing services to users is it?<br />
<br />
Well, even if it isn't you have zero redundancy there. If you lose the disk you'll lose everything.

I'd said worse without realising it to be fair.

On ESXI 6.5 a VM has the error: <br />
There is no more space for virtual disk 'abcd-02.vmdk'. You might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant volume, and clicking Retry. Click Cancel to terminate this session. <br />

ESXi Datastore error - no space

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
