Failed to remove snapshot due to disk space

• Failed to remove snapshot, impossible for the fret

  Hello

  I use VMware Fusion 4.1.3 with Windows 7 Setup. The original drive has a size of about 45 GB, the size on the disk of the complete virtual machine (of course especially the disk) is 124 GB.

  I had two snapshots. One of them I removed successfully (using the interface). Days later I wanted to remove it. He told me that I had to release about 20 additional GB of space first. After I closed the dialog box, the name of the snapshot has changed something technical, and after the restart of VMware, the snapshot was not visible in the list more.

  I created another cliché and tried to delete it. The same issue has occurred.

  Since then, my VM has grown at 124 GB, filling almost all the space left on my record of comments.

  I can't shrink the virtual machine using the VMware tools, given that this option is disabled.

  Is there something I can do? VMware starts when I free up additional space on the disc, which he claims so quickly. Without a method to recover the space, this virtual machine is a disposable solution

  Thank you

  If you don't want to fix here, that's fine, I understand.  If it is not obvious, the reason I (we) seek the support bundle is it gives us a picture pretty clearly and concisely what are the components without having to ask a lot of questions or give you specific instructions to collect the minimum amount of information for us to give you concise and accurate information based on the real facts.  If you want to remove the .tgz file in a password protected archive file zip and then private Message and it reach me the password I'll be more then happy to help you.  Otherwise, sorry, I don't have the time now to piece meal that.  I'm sure someone else will happen to your problem and will probably be more patience to deal with the lack of information and then I do.

  Otherwise, all I can say is that you need to free up an adequate amount of space on the host computer to solve the problem of the snapshot.  If you use monolithic discs vs split disks, then you need a fairly large amount (typically the size of the vHDD + a little extra) of free disk space otherwise that the operations are not successfully completed.  Split disks do not required as much free space (minimum 2 + GB) but don't try convent under the circumstances!   If any of the snapshots have been orphaned or the snapshot database is not accurate, then in some cases a way to fix the problem is to kill the snapshot database and then take a snapshot, and then delete it.  Obviously with the facts, I cannot make any specific recommendations and have just introduced what I illustrate why info is necessary.

  You might be able to find adequate information in the VMware KB to fix your problem, did you look here?

• VMware ESXi 4.1.0 and snapshot problem - no disk space

  Hi all

  We now have a big problem with our free space on the disk. We are using VMware vSphere (vSphere Client ver 4.1.0 and VMware ESXi ver 4.1.0):

  Our vm has 2 HDD (500 GB, 1 TB). Now we have only 20 GB of free disk 1 and several snapshot files. To remove the snapshot, we need more than 20 GB of free space (corect?). What we need to do more free space? We can move snapshot files from the first disk to the second disk?

  

  

  Thanks for any help

  First of all, you can redirect your new snapshot on another store/disk as explained in this article "http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1002929".

  Secondo, you can delete snapshot older and smaller but not all together as explained in this article by Duncan Epping "http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/01/07/delete-all-snapshots/."

• Snapshots and free disk space

  We are trying generally do not use snapshots and when we do, we try to limit it to 1 day. Use increased and basic snapshot backups, I had questions on space.

  Of course, snapshots can eat space on your data store.

  1. In ESX 3.5, VC 2.5, there is any permettai to protect against a snapshot using all the free space on a data store?

  2. What happens on the snapshot server if the data store running out of space?

  3. What happens to the other servers on the data store.

  4. One of these responses change when using VSphere?

  I guess it would be bad enough for all virtual machines, but I would like to know what should to the extent of the behavior of ESX and the individual virtual machines. Also, it seems that it could be problematic for backups of snapshot of base for the same reasons.

  What people do to protect themselves against this scenerio?

  .

  Add to the previous comments, no additional built-in security for vSphere, but there in vSphere:

  1. more than storage associated alerts available

  2. the views of report good in vCenter GUI that contain usage data snapshot to be able to see the impact on the use of the disc

  I have a personal dislike for snapshots that I wouldn't be surprised if their misuse is the most common cause of VMware on virtual machine failures, because otherwise the VMware is a very stable platform.  They have a specific for certain purposes but are no longer used, without a good knowledge of the impact, by administrators.

  The negative impacts of snapshots space usage can be:

  1 virtual disk i/o performance very slow as snapshot becomes large

  2 VM becomes unresponsive for long periods while the big shots are removed

  3. freezing of the other virtual machines on the data store

  4. potential corruption of virtual machines during attempts to free up space and resume operation

  As a consultant by deploying new VMware environments and give administrators new to VMware, I do see a lot of use of this 'instant cool feature' and try to warn against its administrators traps I speak directly.  However, I have seen these problems occur more often I want.

  To me, this looks like to "HIQASRV2139-000002 - delta.vmdk ' was created, but never used due to disk space problems. For the virtual disk is usable must exist a file descriptor "HIQASRV2139 - 000002.vmdk" too. What you can do is to stop the virtual machine (I'm sure that's not really necessary, but I recommend it for reasons of safety), then pass the "HIQASRV2139-000002 - delta.vmdk" to a folder under rename it and turn on the virtual machine again. If the virtual machine is no problem, you can delete this file.

• Snapshot Consolidation with a low disk space options

  After you delete all snapshots for a specific virtual machine, I am alerted that drives require codification, probably because it has insufficient disk space to successfully delete the snapshots. Of course, consolidation fails because of lack of space. I wonder if there are tricks to be able to consolidate records when the data store does not have enough space. So far I came up with the following options, but some are not ideal, I am looking for other suggestions:

  -Increase the size of the data store: not ideal because the data store will have more than enough space once the snapshots are deleted and it is difficult to decrease after the fact.

  -Storage vmotion the disks in another larger data temporarily store: a little better but not ideal due to the large amount of data

  -Stop the virtual machine and try to consolidate: I read that additional disk space is needed to consolidate the disk while the VM is running. If this is the case, how can I be sure that it works, for example to calculate the required space before I incur the failure (see below for more information).

  For each of these options, I am also looking for assistance calculating the space needed to consolidate properly, given the following information (let me know if further info is needed):

  

  

  According to the information provided, it seems that you use thin configured virtual disks. In this case the additional disk space required to consolidate snapshots could be anything up to the size/amount of snapshots, limited by the provisions of the virtual disk size less the current size of the hard file. If you consolidate snapshots, while the virtual machine is up and running, with the disk space required on the data store based on the changes made in the guest OS, while the Helper-Snapshot is active. Unfortunately, there is no available for this formula.

• Running out of disk space and the need to remove the old clichés

  I recently joined a company owning an ESXi 4.1.0 (build 260247) server with 4 500GB data warehouses.  One of our servers main database (Ubuntu/Postgres), which uses only one of the data warehouses (4 datastore) has 21GB 465 GB free.  It is currently configured to store all settings, storage and snapshots on this unique data store.  The hard disk is configured as thin.

  The virtual machine has crashed a few days ago, when it ran out of disk space.  We removed a small second partition (which was in the same data store) and cleared space, but we receive extremely weak with only 5% of the data left store.

  I have read many posts and wanted to get the opinion of this community before I move forward.   Because we do not use the 4.1 last I heard some issues using the option "Remove all" that it may require more disk space and others recommended to manually delete snapshots from the closest to the base, but it seems that in this case it can merge the snapshot with the original without freeing all the space.

  We are not all of the snapshots and I'm fine with delete them, but I assure you we will not run out of disk space in the process and complicate things further.

  It is best to manually remove these snapshots starting with the one closest to the base or by using the "Delete All" (or something else)?  In addition, if we go with the manual option, is it possible with the virtual machine upward or do we need to close first?

  Current snapshots:

  

  Current data warehouses associated with VM (really unique using the 4 data store)

  

  Actual files on the data store 4

  

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  After the screenshot, your virtual disk 'arrow_db1.vmdk' stocked thickness!

  With the thick disc service and ESXi 4.1 (the problem with "Delete All" is related to version 4.0), you can run safely "Delete All". However, due to low disk space, I recommend that do you with the virtual machine off. If turned on, a new temporary snapshot will be created, which - according to the workload of the virtual machine - can grow and fill in the data store.

  Due to the size of snapshot and depending on the speed of your storage space, you need to plan a few hours well downtime.
