yes, by saying "committing" snapshots I mean using the Delete button in the snapshot manager (don't know why they call it delete and not commit, it's confusing).
I know you can do most of them manually but I have encountered VM's who got a snapshot made by "Consolidate helper" and then you must shutdown the VM in order to get rid of that snapshot. The only way to avoid them is by using different names for your vmdk's. Check out KB article 5096672 for this:
I have a question too about the boot drives: in physical servers we normally put them on RAID 1 disks. The data will be on RAID 5 disks (unless it's a database). RAID 1+0 however causes you to loose much diskspace and I wonder if any of you are using RAID 5 for your boot drives. RAID 5 should be okay for this imho and doesn't waste that much space.
