Hello Guys, I Have a VM on ESXI That I don’t use anymore but i only need the files on the VMDISK. So i export the vmdk file.
I just need the existing files. When I opened the disc I found only old things, so I realized that the updates were in the snapshot. But I can’t merge the snapshot with the parent disk showing this error:
Consolidate VMDisks
Key: haTask-1-vim.VirtualMachine.consolidateDisks-139217140
Description: Consolidate disk files of this virtual machine
Virtual machine: hpfunilaria_server
State: Failed – The operation is not allowed in the current state.
so I went to consult the log:
