Hi all,
We are facing a problem with snapshot chains. We started on a host using ESXi 4.1 which we updated to vSphere 5. When we updated the host, there was a problem with the vmx file (orphaned VM) and the snapshot chain got lost. We now have a whole bunch of delta VMDK's which I would like to commit into a single VMDK file again.
In the snapshot manager the whole chain is not visible. How can we commit these disks into one again. We do not have features like Storage vMotion or SAN storage available. This is a standalone host, but with vCenter available. One option would be to take the VMware Converter and to a V2V, but I do not know if this would make the disk space available again.
Please advice.
