Hello!
A client pushes a new instant clone image weekly to a pool of instant clones. When I delete older snapshots, VCenter (or PowerCLI) respond almost instantly that it was successful. It does remove the snapshot from the list of snapshots, however it does not really remove the vmdks for the snapshot. It behaves this way very consistently.
Only the 2 most recent snapshots are really in use. I suspect, however, that Horizon and/or VCenter have a lock on the older snapshots.
Is there a proper way to delete older snapshots? If I disable the pool, can I delete the older snapshots? If disabling the pool enables that to work, do I need to wait a few minutes for the locks to release before deleting the snapshots?
Now that the older snapshots no longer show up in VCenter, is there a good way to delete them without cloning the VM and losing the other snapshots?
Thanks!
Scott
