22.7. Unable to deploy VMs from uploaded vSphere
template
Symptom
When attempting to create a VM, the VM will not deploy.
Cause
If the template was created by uploading an OVA file that was created using vSphere Client, it is
possible the OVA contained an ISO image. If it does, the deployment of VMs from the template will
fail.
Solution
Remove the ISO and re-upload the template.

Symptom
Virtual machine does not power on. You might see errors like:
• Unable to open Swap File
• Unable to access a file since it is locked
•
Unable to access Virtual machine configuration

A known issue on VMware machines. ESX hosts lock certain critical virtual machine files and file
systems to prevent concurrent changes. Sometimes the files are not unlocked when the virtual
machine is powered off. When a virtual machine attempts to power on, it can not access these critical
files, and the virtual machine is unable to power on.
