    <description>&lt;P&gt;One of our largest VMguests had a snapshot created and then the technician forgot about the snapshot. I found out and tried to delete it only problem is we ran out of space on the datastore.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The VMguest recide on direct storage and my thought was to move the snapshot to another datastore (iSCSI).. I have searched for articles about this for 2 days now and cannot find any that fits my issue.. The only articles i find is about changing workdir for future snapshots (have tried this for fun and it does work in my test env)..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When i tried the Delete-All snapshots the datastore had a little more than 6TB free so i thought it would be ok since the snapshot size is 3.3TB.. But now the datastore is completly full and the process failed at 59% .. Now i cannot see the snapshot anymore in the Snapshot Manager but i get the message:&lt;BR /&gt;"This virtual machine needs to have its disk consolidated" ..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any suggestions how to proceed? I cannot clone it or export it to another datastore since i do not have any with that size available. Thats why i was thinking to move the snapshot to iSCSI storage and then try consolidate.. Is it possible?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Running ESXi 7.0 U3i&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Guest OS has a thin disk with 10.95TB configured.&lt;BR /&gt;Local Datastore has capacity of 12.97TB&lt;BR /&gt;Snapshot is 3.3TB&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;All other machines and ISO files has been moved away from the host.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;ls -lisa:&lt;BR /&gt;109052164 3522483200 -rw------- 1 root root 3623893360640 May 13 09:30 Guest1-000001-sesparse.vmdk&lt;BR /&gt;113246212 10273060864 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12043088297984 May 12 07:26 Guest1-flat.vmdk&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;df -h&lt;BR /&gt;Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on&lt;BR /&gt;VMFS-6 13.0T 12.9T 126.7G 99% /vmfs/volumes/datastore1&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5612777"&gt;@Meph79&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There is 1 snapshot present on the disk which is 000001.vmdk. The snapshot consolidation requires almost 25-30% of the disk size and Snapshot size to complete.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As the Datastore is 100% full and since it is local Datastore there is no possibility of expanding the Datastore which leaves us with 2 options only which are mentioned below.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. We need to clone the snapshot disk from Esxi Putty session. This command will clone and create a new disk on other datastore which has enough free space. Post this operation there will only be 1 new disk which will be used and the old disk on local datastore needs to be deleted.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. We clone the complete VM using Vmware Convertor which will create a copy of the VM.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Both the options will also consolidate the disks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As this activity involves risking data please get the command checked before processing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi! Thanks for your answer!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The datastore became full after i ran the snapshot delete all.. So i guess much of the data were comitted to the flat image and made it grow in size..&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;All i have available is a iSCSI volume with 5TB free. I do not think that is enough for a clone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;My thougt was to move the snapshot to this iSCSI datastore and then try to consolidate the disks again. Is that possible? The VM is currently turned off.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Did you try disk consolation&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is a snapshot with sesparse, meaning a size bigger than 2Tb.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For you to consolidate, you will need datastore space. Is not possible to do that without datastore space.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If you do not have space in that datastore(or cannot increase the size of that datastore) you can clone the VM to another datastore.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; When i tried the Delete-All snapshots the datastore had a little more than 6TB free so i thought it would be ok since the snapshot size is 3.3TB.&lt;BR /&gt;That's indeed strange. That should have worked with that much free disk space.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyway, there are unfortunately not many options available at this time.&lt;BR /&gt;Consolidating - as suggested by another user - is no option due to the low free disk space. &lt;BR /&gt;Moving the snapshot file to another datastore is also something that I wouldn't want to do. That was possible with the old snapshot format (&lt;EM&gt;delta&lt;/EM&gt; files), but I'd keep my fingers off the &lt;EM&gt;sesparse&lt;/EM&gt; files.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the current situation, an option would be to backup, and restore the VM. Which backup application do you use?&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Until you do not provide space to that datastore, you cant consolidate those disks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/173652"&gt;@a_p_&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Import:&lt;BR /&gt;Start: 22/5 21:22&lt;BR /&gt;End: 24/5 05:11&lt;BR /&gt;OVF file size: 3,02TB&lt;BR /&gt;Time hours: 32&lt;BR /&gt;Speed: 27,49 MB/s (230 Mbit/s)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Good news! The import was successful!!! Thanks for your support. In total it took 7 days but we do not need to reinstall the server and backupsoftware and everything wich would have taken a few days i guess..&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Used OVF tool to do the import. It seemed a little slower than using Chrome but i guess more stable and reliable. Chrome did give 400-500Mbit/s in import speed but it was going up and down a lot.. OVFtool kept speed at a constant 230Mbit/s..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
