  1. All VMFS (vmfs2, vmfs3, vmfs5,vmfs6) must got a level of free space to ensure that the virtual machine functions properly. It is difficult to predict how a full filesystem may create problems because VMFS is a core element of the ESX host. To ensure more efficient troubleshooting and system operation, keep VMFS below the thresholds.
