Hi,
I've a problem with a VM Filer machine with a Huge size of 12T.
Cause to this bl**** product Acronis backup I've a lot of snapshot sesparse.vmdk file (35) for each disk of the VM .
As a result my dedicated 16T SAN is out of space. I tried to gain som place but as it's a dedicated SAN I only manage to recover 30G of free space.
There's no snapshot visible in the console and each time I tried to consolidate even with a powered off VM , It result with NOTENOUGHSPACE error.
As sesparse file are only redo log unlike delta. Would you think it's silly to delete the and the modify the vmx to reflect the good vmdk file to solve this problem.
Knowing that's moving or cloning the VM is not an option since I can't store this VM on any other storage appliance in the company ? and to trick the thing I'm not very sure of my backup since they've been done by the same soft that cause the issue...
Thanks by advance
