Consolidate vCloud VM using vSphere

[AusSTY90]

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I've got one single VM in a vApp in our vCloud 5.1.2 environment. This VM has hidden snapshots which I think have been caused by our image level backup software. There are no snapshots recorded in snapshot manager or vCloud.

My question is; Is it possible (and safe) to use the Consolidate feature in the vSphere client to tidy up the delta files? Will this break the VM/vApp in vCloud?

The preference would be to issue consolidate from the vCD UI if it's an option.

If not, then yes, the only way to do it would be to consolidate from the vCenter client.

This should be fine as long as the VM stays exactly where it is.
