Hi! I have VMARE 4.1.. I have a big problem.
I'm going to change SAN.. One virtual Machine is old DATASTORE (Disk1 DataStore1 50GB, Disk2 DataStore2 60GB and Disk3 DataStore3 512GB), when I migrate VM to DataStore new, It say:
"the virtual machine has virtual disk in link-cloned mode that prevents migration"
I see in Manager Snapshots is empty. Browse DataStore1, I see:
xxxx-0000001.vmdk 13682000K (Size) and 52GB (provisioned)
xxxx.vmdk 52GB (Size)
I try take snapShot.. but I see "file <unspecified filename> is larger than the maximum size supported by datastore <unspecified filename>"
I add other DataStores and now I have tree DataStores of 1,5TB (older 800 + new 800).
My DataStore are VMFS3
I need migrate this VM.. This VM is production and I can't off now.
I think I'll take this:
Off VM
Remove Disk3 (512GB) (no delete)
Create Snapshot
I go Manager Snapshot, and DELETE ALL.
Add DISK3 and I check "Independent".
And.. migrate DataStore.
what you think? All thank!
