Hi,
I have a problem regarding snapshots in a virtual machine.
My server has the bellow identity:
VMware Infrastructure Web AccessVersion 2.0.0Build 128374
VMware ServerVersion 2.0.1Build 156745
The virtual machine has two disks, one 140GB and one 65GB. My problem resides to the first one that included OS files too.
When I opened the folder of that disk, I found all these:
From a little search I did I found that there are some snapshots in that VM but here:
looks like there is no snapshot...
I tried stopping the machine and by using vmware-vdiskmanager.exe tool to merge all disk files to one (since no snapshots seems to exist) but the result when I used the new file, was a disk more that a year old.
Is there any way to merge all the old snapshots in order to create one disk file in the end?
Here are some more info:
