This may have been a VCenter issue. I deleted the pool that was using the parent VM. I started replication, then ended replication. Then I removed the VM from inventory, then I created a directory under the VM on the datastore, them moved *digest* and *.hlog files to the folder I just created. Then I re-added the VM to VCenter. Took a snapshot, created the pool. Same problem. I still could not take a snapshot, same error. Recalling that I had troubles in the past with VCenter not releasing the locks on the parent VM as fast as I would like, I did the same procedure (above) again, with a little more waiting between steps and this time it worked! The VM is the parent VM for the pool, and I can take snapshots! Hope it helps someone! Scott
