Dear Experts,

I am looking for assistance before doing this step, deleting snapshot of a virtual machine (NNMi-Test),100GB thick disk was assigned to this virtual machine when it was created. After the installation of operating system, we took a snapshot. Reason was user had to test something on this one and we wanted like if during testing some problem occur because of installations atleast we can revert back to fresh operating system installation snapshot.

 

After that mistakenly we missed that we had snapshot on this machine. Now I want to delete this single snapshot but its size is now 26,182,660 KB. The present state of machine we want to keep, it is OK with us.

 

Can I safely proceed for deletion, I should say "delete all" OR "delete". Image is attached here with. This machine is on datastore 'EVAstorage2' and 193GB is free on it.

 

There is another host below virtual machines are running on it, I also need help for the snap shots,:

- virtual machine (NNMi) , assigned 150GB thick disk, also have same issue snapshot was created and it is now 7.7 GB,

  This machine is on 'EVAstorage1' and free space is 221GB

- virtual machine (Bukhari), assigned 150GB thick, also have snap shot creted after fresh OS installation and size

  of this snap shot is now showing as 128GB

 

I am attaching the images of the three machines I need assistance for: NNMi-Test, NNMi Bukhari

 

Please note the Esxi is 4.0.0 (208167)

 

Please assist me and require more details before giving suitable answer to me, please ask me. Also keep in mind there are also other virtual machines on same datastores 'EVAstorage1' and 'EVAstorage2' with thin provision disk and few with thick disk.

 

 

 

Kind Regards,

Wajeeh
