  • 1.  Restarting a machine during snapshot removal

    Posted Apr 01, 2015 10:29 PM

    Hello,

    Currently, the snapshot is being deleted (60%), so the question is can I restart the VM machine?  The process started by a third party software (Veeam) and it failed (

    4/1/2015 12:34:23 PM :: Unable to release guest. Error: VSSControl: Failed to freeze guest, wait timeout).  Veeam then issued to have the snapshot remove.

    Environment:

    2008r2  (Exchange 2010 passive machine in a DAG) machine on ESXI 5.5

    Thanks,

    TT

    when you are removing (consolidating) a snapshot you normally can restart the vm.

    as I understand for a snapshot delete the VSS isn't used
