Error Message in VI Client Indicates That esx.conf.WRITELOCK Cannot Be Obtained

Details

I received an error message indicating that esx.conf.WRITELOCK cannot be obtained when I tried to perform an operation in VI Client. What does this mean?

Solution

This error message usually occurs when you try to use host configuration. The esx.conf file has been locked for more than ten seconds by the initrd regen process, causing other processes to fail until the process has completed.

To resolve this error, wait 30 seconds and attempt the operation again.
