Hi Folks,
We just completed an upgrade to VMWare 5.1. As it pertains to the snapshot recovery discussions on this thread, can anyone speak to the following:
1) We were advised to run the following command on our datastores to detect any hidden orphaned snapshots. This has worked well. Do we continue with the equivalent in 5.1, or has it changed with the changes to the ESX kernel?
find /vmfs/volumes/ -name “*delta*” -type f -print0 | xargs -0 du --human-readable --total
2) Are the procedures outlined in this thread (assorted vmkfstools usage) for recovering from orphaned snapshots still applicable in the ESXi 5.1 host environment.
As always, thank you kindly for your input,
Jeff
