Solved: Create snapshot in another datastore

fajarpri · ‎03-15-2010

Hi all,

On ESXi 4, is it possible to create snapshot in another datastore? The reason is the current datastore is almost full. Thank you.

Hi,

AFAIK the snapshots always are in the same place than the vm's files. Then it isn't possible to put the snapshots in other datastore than the vm.

I do noy believe it is possible - you will have to free up space or add an extent -
