Background – No operation can be performed on an ESX host and you may see files are locked by other processes.
Solution
Determine which ESXi/ESX host has a locked or rogue file.
* First login to the local tech support mode console on the host.
* Use the command vmkfstools to obtain the lockstatus of the file.
* Use the command vmkfstools to obtain the lockstatus of the file.
# vmkfstools -D /vmfs/volumes/LUN/VM/disk-flat.vmdk
You would see a similar output as below,
Lock [type 10c00001 offset 54009856 v 11, hb offset 3198976
