consolidation seems to work but doesn’t consolidate

Hi All,

Running vCenter Server 7.0 update1c on ESXi VMware ESXi, 7.0.1, 17325551

Just removed a very large snapshot and now vCenter is saying VM disks consolidation needed. I ran the disk consolidation, the tasks say it was completed but the consolidation message doesn't go away.  I tried rebooting the machine and then tried the consolidation, no luck.  

Any ideas?

Hi,

So it turns out that Veeam was preventing this.  Used this KB to solve it:

do you have enough space, it will fail if there isn't enough room, make sure there is enough space at least that is equal the biggest disk in the VM.
