  • 1.  Recover Data/ VMDK

    Posted Apr 10, 2025 03:48 PM

    Good day,
    Our vm crashed because of a lack of space. I deleted what I believed to be a snapshot however when the server was powered on, it reverted back to the first snapshot available for that. Is it possible to locate the vmdks or logs that will inform me what happened to that particular vm?

    Thank you

    I have so many questions on this, how was it deleted? cli/snapshot manager etc? did you delet/revert?
    but really you can try this KB https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?legacyId=1002511 and see if that helps.

    I'm guessing by your request there was no backup? as you could simply restore the VM or the flat disk from the backup.
