Note: If you see grayed-out snapshot operations, seek assistance from your administrator as you may not have the required privileges. List of all snapshot operations under Snapshots dropdown box Select the VM > Go to “Snapshots” tab > From here, you will see the snapshot manager and all available VMware Snapshot operations.Right-click on the VM > Go to “Snapshots” > A dropdown will appear showing all of the available actions.
To start, we can navigate all of our snapshots and their corresponding operations in two ways: Below, we will tackle all of the snapshot operations and dive deep into them one-by-one. The VMware Snapshot feature is straightforward to navigate and offers all the basic functionalities inside the vSphere environment. Here, we will learn about the different VMware snapshot operations and all of the snapshot best practices that administrators must know when managing VMs. VMware Snapshot ensures that the generated snapshots can restore data quickly from any loss or corruption by capturing and preserving the current state of a VM. It is also one of the most popular data protection tools for virtual machines. If this doesn’t help, check who has locked the virtual machine files.VMware Snapshot is a native VMware solution for quickly and easily safeguarding the data in your virtual machines (VMs).
To do it, connect to the ESXi host via SSH and run this command: In this case, VMware recommends restarting Management agents on the ESXi server. Consolidation failed for disk node ‘scsi0:0’: Failed to lock the file.Ĭonsolidate virtual machine disk files - Unable to access file since it is locked. An error occurred while consolidating disks: Failed to lock the file. In some cases, when performing a consolidation you may see this error in the vSphere console: Unable to access file since it is locked. After that, the warning of the VM consolidation will disappear. When consolidation is performed, data from the delta disks are merged with the main disk and unnecessary files on the storage are removed. Wait for the “ Consolidate virtual machine disk files” task to complete.
During consolidation, VM performance may degrade. The consolidation process can take a long time depending on the size of the VM, the number of snapshots, and the current host/datastore load. Then vCenter will consolidate disks and clear the logs. Are you sure you want to continue?Ĭonfirm that you want to delete the redundant logs. This operation consolidates all redundant redo logs on your virtual machine. A window with the following request appears: Confirm Consolidate
