HI All
Relevantly new to VMWARE.
I have been trying to run a disk consolidation on one of the VM's at work. but keep getting this error.
Failed to copy source (/vmfs/volumes/5b925080-9e14ff9a-b755-a89969e84a81/sujvmsql01/sujvmsql01_2-000017.vmdk) to destination (/vmfs/volumes/5b925080-9e14ff9a-b755-a89969e84a81/sujvmsql01/sujvmsql01_2.vmdk): Timeout. An error occurred while consolidating disks: The operation failed. Consolidation failed for disk node 'scsi0:2': The operation failed. Failed to get copy progress while consolidating disks from '/vmfs/volumes/5b925080-9e14ff9a-b755-a89969e84a81/sujvmsql01/sujvmsql01_2-000017.vmdk' to '/vmfs/volumes/5b925080-9e14ff9a-b755-a89969e84a81/sujvmsql01/sujvmsql01_2.vmdk'.

Please try to SSH to the ESXi that allocates the VM and restart management services. (Execute the command services.sh restart. VMware Knowledge Base).
Don't worry if the host shows as "Not responding" for a minute, it's completely normal and non disruptive at all.
Then try again.
Please let me know how it goes.

Hi
Thanks very much for answering.
I restarted the Management Services and now the disk consolidation message has disappeared.
Its showing Green now in Vcenter.
I will continue to monitor and let you know.
Thanks

It should work and I don't think you will have any issue. let me know if this doesn't work as I can help out.
Hi, Ryan.
I was wondering how the snapshot consolidation went.
If my answer helped you, please mark it as correct.
Thanks

No issues and its backup up perfectly as well now
