Need quick help on vmkfstools, cloning and the consolidation of the snapshot - not sure that I am doing things

I received this a.p..:

I modified the parentCID in "Datapark.SBS2011 - 000003.vmdk" to attach the instantaneous chain. " What I would say, it is to upload the file to the data store and then clone the virtual disk so that the current data files remain intact in case something does not work as expected.

To clone the virtual disk, run the following command:

vmkfstools 'Datapark.SBS2011 - 000002.vmdk'-i ' Datapark.SBS2011 - Clone.vmdk '-d thin - one Free

The command uses Datapark.SBS2011 - 000002.vmdk - who is the last file of active snapshot of the string - as the source and creates a virtual clone drive, in which all the data from all the snapshots will be consolidated. Once the cloning is done, you can join the clone of a virtual machine. Depending on what happened while the Basic virtual disk was attached to a virtual machine, there could be corruption. However, due to the size of snapshots, you should be able to recover most of your data.

Probably, he fell asleep, and I need to start as soon as possible the cloning.

Is it OK to run the command, or it deletes all the files in the snapshot?

As he says, "so that the current data files remain intact in case somethoing won't", the clone command seems to remove all the files from the snapshot.

Anyone who can confirm?

Best regards

Morty

It won't do anything for your source files.

It will simply read the string of the delta with the base of your virtual machine disk and the Clone in a consolidated file called ""Datapark.SBS2011 - Clone.vmdk " "
