Lack of space in the unable to consolidate data store, what can I do now?

Hi all:

Today, a single server VM was off because of the latest snapshot of veeam.

I wen to vm machine to the Snapshot Manager and delete the snapshot.

After you remove the server has been started and it seems that everything is OK except the message this need of consolidation server.

I tried to regroup, but when I try to consolidate, it shows me this error

An error occurred in consolidating the discs: msg.disklib.NOSPACE.

After trial of vmware knowledge base I'm cloning virtual machine in another data store that is has a bit more space (temporary) so I test if it works this VM cloned as the original.

I have a few questions. the original VM is up and runing correctly... but I don't know what to do next, please can you help me?

1. I can move the original VM to another store of data with more than one space the machine consolidate? or it's very risky?

2 I can always use the actual virtual machine without group until I have buy new data store and the passage to the new data store and consolidate? or maybe to clone the virtual machine to the new data store and remove them the old VM?

3º if the cloned version works like the original VM machine, I guess I can pass version clone production and delete the virtual machine no consolidated this original data store?

Kind regards

There's nothing uncommon to 'Migrate' computer virtual data to another store. With Essentials it will unfortunately take time out well (without live migration of storage available).

In any case, the cloning should also work. The clone will get however a new address UUID and MAC, (i.e. you may need to reconfigure the network), and the cloned VM will get a new ID of virtual machine, which can be important if you use a virtual machine based backup application. However, cloning does not touch the source, so if something does not work as expected you still have the source available.
