Quick question.
Can you store the VM snapshots on alternate datastores from the virtual machine files?
For example, if the VMDK files for this VM live on a fibre channel datastore, can you place the snap shots on a SATA datastore?
Thanks.
Jeff,
To do this, you have to change the "working directory".
As far as i know:
Shut down the VM
Use Putty to connect to ESX
Use VI to edit the .vmx file of your VM
Change the workingDir variable to something like "/vmfs/volumes/MyDatastore/" instead of workingDir = "."
If you want it in a separate subdir on this datastore, you have to create ths first.
An other option is to try Hugo Peeters' Powershell script located at
Good luck
