question regarding parent vm + snapshots

[chaz112182]

     hello,

i have a quick question regarding parent vm + snapshots. i am on the 19th revision of my parent vm. currently the parent vm,  when i open snapshot manager, it has all 19 snapshots as i have not deleted any of the older snaps. is there anything i need to consider prior to deleting the old snaps. currently all of my desktop pools are running off of the latest snap.

thanks in advance.

cheers.

I always keep my last couple of snapshots laying around in case I need to fail back.  I have also never experienced any issues deleting the older snapshots.

You will have no issue deleting the old snapshots as the others have mentioned. The changes that were in the deleted snapshot will get pushed to the snapshot down the tree. Meaning deleting snapshot 18 pushes those changes down to snapshot 19. The file that backs snapshot 19 will change, however the state of the snapshot will not change

Hope that helps
