Consolidating the snapshots deletes the redo log files and removes the snapshots from the vSphere Client user interface. If snapshot files are consuming high datastore space, consider consolidating them to the virtual disk when they are no longer needed.

If possible, you can provision more space to the datastore, or you can add disks to the datastore or use shared datastores. Allocated space can be larger than datastore capacity, for example, when you have snapshots and thin-provisioned disks.
#DATASTORE USAGE ON DISK ALARM CLEARING .SNAPSHOT FULL#
The datastore is at full capacity when the used space is equal to the capacity.

Total space = virtual disk space + swap file space + snapshot space + other VM file space A delta disk file stores the updates made by the virtual machine to the virtual disks after a snapshot is taken.Īmount of disk space used by all other virtual machine files, such as configuration files and log files.Īmount of disk space used by the virtual machine. A snapshot state file stores the running state of the virtual machine at the time of the snapshot. They include snapshot state files and delta disk files.

Although the COS files should be located on a local datastore, the script now ignores COS.

The following changes were made to the function So I decided to write a new script that would report on orphaned folders and VMDK files and that would have an option to remove these folders and files. In the PowerCLI Community there are some thread that provide scripts to report on orphaned VMDK files, but most of these are quite old. Now unfortunately that is not the case since the function we presented in chapter 7 uses the ReconfigVM_Task method to remove the harddisk. One of our readers asked if that function could be used to remove orphaned VMDK files from one or more datastores.
