VMWare ESX: Fix: "Insufficient Memory Resources" - Unable to Poweron VM
This issue affects ESX servers only.
Cause:
Server was built incorrectly and did not have sufficient swap file space allocated.
Fix:
Create and activate a second swap file.
Action:
SSH into the troubled ESX server. Verify how much free space you have on the LOCAL vmfs partition.
vdf –h
vmkfstools –k 12G /vmfs/vmfslocal/SWAP2.vsp
Now it’s time to activate:
vmfstools –w /vmfs/vmfslocal/SWAP2.vswp
You should now be able to power on your Virtual Machines.
