Data-stores filled up causing virtual machine crashes

$

Good morning,

I have one datastore (LUN) that has 4 virtual machines residing on it. All of the virtual machines have thick provisioned disks. This morning a snapshot was taken of one of the servers which caused the datastore to fill up. Once this happened, all of the virtual machines on this datastore stopped working.

 

I shut down 2 of the virtual machines and migrated them over to another datastore and restarted them. They began working again as well as the 2 remaining virtual machines on the original LUN.

 

Management is asking me to explain why all of the virtual machines stopped performing when non of them had thin provisioned disk. They all had fixed sized disk.

 

Does anyone have a clue?

 

Thanks,

Tim
