Migrate a host => existing Snapshots

Hello volks,

We have a ESX Cluster with 5 ESX Hosts. The datastore is Netapp.

Here is what i do:

1. Install a new VM on host1

2. Take a snapshot of the created VM

3. Migrate the VM to host2 (there i get a information popup that after migrating the vm it is possible that the snapshot can not longer be used)

4. I migrate the VM from host2 back to host1

After the above procedure i cannot select "revert snapshot" anyway. Is there any chance (also when changing my procedure) to get this working?

kind regards,

Matthias

Take a lok at this thread, the gist of which is that you can have problems reverting snapshots after vmotion
