Hello,
I copied a virtual machine from ESX server 1 to ESX server 2. On ESX server 1 this virtual machine had a couple snapshots. Now on ESX server 2 these snapshots are no longer visible in the snapshot manager. When i check on the command line i can see all the snapshot delta files, so the snapshots are still there. When i check with ll-tr, the vmdk in use is the highest snapshot number.
The steps i took:
- shutdown virtual machine on server 1
- copy machine to server 2 with scp
- changed folder name
- removed MAC addres from vmx file
- changed the parentFileNameHint in one vmdk (else it could not find the flat-vmdk file and it would not start)
- started the virtual machine
Now i checked the snapshot manager, and it was empty. Also vmware-cmd hassnapshot tells me: "hassnapshot() = ". So nothing.
I'm running ESX 3.0.2 61618 (upgrade 3.5 planned)
Can anyone help me out?
