Server info: 3.0.2-52542
All,
I made the mistake of leaving a snapshot live on a system overnight and our SQL backups ran which ended up writing a ton of data to the delta file, in turn it filled up the vmstore partition.
A message came up saying "There is no more space for the redo log of Alpamayo_1-000001.vmdk. You may be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant partition, and clicking Retry. Otherwise, click Abort to terminate this session." I chose Abort.
The VM shut down, and then I removed the snapshot. So at this point the snapshot does not exist in VI, but the -delta files still exist in the vmstore. How do I remedy thissituation? If I take another snapshot would it know to use the old -delta files? If so, then I could remove it and commit the changes.
Here is the content of the Alpamayo_1-000001.vmdk file:
Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
CID=0a50c639
parentCID=c1379f69
createType="vmfsSparse"
parentFileNameHint="Alpamayo_1.vmdk"
Extent description
RW 62914560 VMFSSPARSE "Alpamayo_1-000001-delta.vmdk"
The Disk Data Base
#DDB
ddb.toolsVersion = "7302"
Any ideas?
Thanks!
