Hi
I am working for a client at the moment, which has a VM set up with a schedule for taking snapshot every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evening. From what I've been told, the manager thinks that his vmware guy used to delete the snapshots manually, but unfortunately the guy had a serious heart attack and are now off sick for several months. which has therefore now accumulated 30 snapshots.
It's a vSphere 5 patch one envirionment, and the server is a Windows 2008 R2 64bit print server.
I want to consolidate all the snapshots, and my question is this: have anyone had to consolidate so many (30) snapshot at once ?, and did they have any issues with it ?. Also, would it be better to consolidate one snapshot at the time, instead of do a consolidate all at once ?.
Any thought or previous experiences would be very much welcome, as well as any known pitfalls.
Kind regards
