![]() ![]() This process sounds simple, but once you start looking at the details are not that easy, and in some production environments this behaviour have caused problems. But vSphere 6 has introduced some changes that are probably going to make commits a problem of the past! A new consolidation methodīefore vSphere 6.0, the consolidation and commit phases of any VM snapshot has always followed the same procedure: an additional helper snapshot was created to “freeze” not just the base virtual disk, but also the snapshot disk, and once the changes stored in the snapshot disk have been merged into the base disk, the helper snapshot was also committed, and at some point the I/O was not directed anymore to the snapshot, but back to the original disk. ![]() Snapshot consolidation (or commit) operations in VMware vSphere have always been a problem, especially for large and really active virtual machines. 0 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 0 LinkedIn 0 Email - 0 Flares ×
