Have you started at the oldest snapshot and deleted (rather than consolidate)? To delete each snapshot may take some time - perhaps hours!
From: Tom Miller [mailto:tmil...@sfgtrust.com] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2013 9:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: VMWare snapshot issue Hi Folks, VMWare question for you VMWare gurus: I'm running ESX 5.0, vShpere client 5.0. I have one server that has many snapshots. It is probably because BackupExec wasn't able to delete the snaphot properly after the vm backup. This is only an issue on this server. When I browse the datastore --> server name, I see at least 10 snapshots. I've tried to consolidate the snapshots via the client, but each time I get an i/o error. Suggestions or is this a call to support?
