I am trying to convert a VM machine into template but as soon as the process start it gave error of snapshort service? can someone explain why this issue is happen while I already checked that snapshort manager is not activated. I am using VCSA 5.0
If it is windows OS , stop VSS service then try.
what is VSS service and from where we can stop?
I checked and find below information about the VSS. Further I need to stop this service permanently or stop and run it again? Further is there any effect with my windows 2012 Server Machine when I stop this service because that is my critical server?
" Shadow Copy (also known as Volume Snapshot Service, Volume Shadow Copy Service or VSS) is a technology included in Microsoft Windows that allows taking manual or automatic backup copies or snapshots of computer files or volumes, even when they are in use
GO to Services and stop VSS, after convert to template you can start it
Hi Rajeev,
The exact error what is showing During the creation of Clone to template is " An error occurred while saving the snapshot. Failed to Quiesce the virtual machine"
