some times we are facing that vmdk locked scenario which we need to identify the locked file using vmkfstools. But when we having multiple vmdk files, we need to run this command several times. To overcome this issue I have tried to use for loop in esxi shell. This may be help others when they having same problem.
for files in *.vmdk
>do
>vmkfstools -D ${files}
>done
