Hi All,
I have a VDC where only one VM is there.
Overall storage allocated of VDC(USVDC) is 15 TB.
Storage used is 12.8 TB
Windows VM total size is 12.8 TB
When we take snapshot,we are getting the below error.Normally,the snapshot size will be 15 MB to 20 MB(while take the snapshot)and then it will grow.
[ c99c801d-b638-4eda-a82b-65e6491a1f4b ] The requested operation will exceed the VDC's storage quota: storage policy "Gold-VSAN-Policy" has 2,471,936 MB remaining, requested 12,855,296 MB.
My question,If I extend the "USVDC"storage allocation from 15 TB to 28 TB,then I can take the snapshot easily.but I cannot revert back the VDC storage allocation again to 15 TB.
Why we are getting such errors as the VM snapshot needs only minimal space not complete VM space(12.5 TB)?
Thanks,
Manivel RR
