I thought to freeware solution or built-in VMware to backup snapshots, a similar features are in VMware  DataProtection which I'm using already. If I turn off VM and I save all files which are into VM folder of datastore , I think It's the only method... what do you think. I already explained machine which has snapshot is master image so It's necessary only as base server to create vm sons.
Citrix Studio USES vCenter, not users. Citrix Studio is certificated for use with Vmware.
Citrix Xenapp is commercial software but I don't know about Citrix Studio component. Why are you asking about it?

A simple reason for backup snapshots: Citrix Studio uses vCenter and It uses machine catalog mechanism where a master image will be template for all virtual machines in the catalog. So when you select Master image It's possibile to select the specific snapshot, which will represent the base server for the multiple cloned vm. Master image server is usually turned off and It used only for clone process but It's necessary to backup the several snapshot of master image.
Is there way to backup snapshot of VM in ESXi 6.0 environment?

I read it on Vmware best practices for SQL server but can I use LSI Logic SAS for both OS and built-in Microsoft SQL databases? I'll create the paravirtual controller for 2nd disk which will contain my new database. What do you suggest?

In ESXi 6.0.0 U3 environment,  OS guest is Win 2016 Datacenter Edition where runs SQL server 2014, what do you think about disk controller? I set default LSI Logic SAS for SQL datafile disk but some told me It's necessary VMware Paravirtual controller where VM makes much I/O operations.
Yes, I'm saying about with both guest OS with ESXi 6.0  update 3.

VM has 32 GB ram and there is no memory problem, SQL server use 10 GB and It's set to use until to 24 GB. Balloon memory is always zero and task manager shows free memory always over 16 GB.  I'm sure there is no problem about vCPU too infact READY time is low, vSphere performance monitor confirms it. ESXtop shows VMWAIT to reach sometimes 30/40% , can It represents a resource conflict? Suggestions to troubleshooting it?

I'm searching in several doc but I'm not able to understand what is the recommended environment for Microsoft SQL server 2012 / 2014, that is guest OS and ESXi version. Actually I have ESXi 6.0 U3 . What is your experience saying ?
do you need info by ESXTOP  ?

Excuse me I found nothing. I'm not able to understand @{N='Cluster';E={$cluster.Name}}, What's document reference about this code in manual? What N represent? I can understand 'Cluster' is a label but N? I can replace 'N' with another letter? $cluster.name is the extracted name of cluster but why It's assigned to E? Where can I find @{} sintax ?

I'd like to list all vm to a single row ,which are running on each ESXi host independent of vm state. I thought to this script but I don't know how to continue: foreach ($cluster in Get-Cluster) {      write-host "`nCluster: " $cluster      foreach ($esxhost in Get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VMHost) {           write-host " Host: " $esxhost           ....      } } e.g. Cluster: A Host: host1 vm: vmA, vmB, vmC, vmD, ... Host: host2 vm: vmA1, vmB1, vmC1, vmD1, ... Host: host3 vm: vmA2, vmB2, vmC2, vmD2, ... Cluster: B Host: host3 vm: vmAA, vmBB, vmCC, vmDD, ... Host: host4 vm: vmAA1, vmBB1, vmCC1, vmDD1, ... If I wanted to write this output to Excel file? Thanks

In Esx 6.0 I'm trying to import vm in .ova format but I got this message: The OVF packages uses features that are not supported: The OVF package requires unsupported hardware. details: line xx: unsupported hardware family 'virtualbox-2.2' In XML file I can see error in one of these lines, and I suppose problem occurs because vm is exported by Virtual Box. Here is a part of xml file:       <System>         <vssd:ElementName>Virtual Hardware Family</vssd:ElementName>         <vssd:InstanceID>0</vssd:InstanceID>         <vssd:VirtualSystemIdentifier>SmartApp 16.04 php 5.6</vssd:VirtualSystemIdentifier>         <vssd:VirtualSystemType>virtualbox-2.2</vssd:VirtualSystemType>       </System> Does it exist way to convert OVA hardware from virtual box to ESXi hardware 11 ? By OVFtool?
