Hyper-V merge

-

hi all,

i have inherited real nice problem left kindly party!

setup simple 2 node hyper-v cluster. working , managed scvmm.

the problem made snapshots of file server after built. see going this!! did'nt delete them , no have inherited "case"  see following not nice scenario:

csv size 1.8tb. of have file server fixed size vhd of 1tb. have .avhd snapshots. smaller 1 158gb , larger 460gb. scvmm library exists on csv , takes additional 200gb. upshot there mere 65 gb  left free on volume.

now know merge process take long time - full weekend effort imagine.

what have done far deleted smalled 158gb snapshot using scvmm. means snap stays in situ until vm power down , merge.

to question - merge possible limited disk space availble? work has caching etc? don't more storage off partition merge or anything.

i thinking of moving scvmm 200gb library vhd off share give total of 265gb free merge of first 158gb .avhd.

i advising client involved may take full weekend process, can tell me if realistic, looking definitive knowledge on process. hoping merge works has  , doesn't instance need free space to equivlency of orginal 1tb vhd plus 158 gb .avhd.

could kind soul please put fears rest! :-)

 

 

 

 

 

merging requires  space,

if cannot free space on current volume, export virtual machine volume has sufficient disk space allow merge complete. process of exporting virtual machine delete snapshots consists of following steps:

  1. export virtual machine current location via hyper-v mgnt or  migrate via scvmm

  2. import virtual machine location has sufficient storage space. location should different volume on same host avoid configuration problems.

  3. if version of hyper-v earlier windows server 2008 r2, turn on virtual machine , shut down, trigger merge process @ new storage location.

  4. if want move virtual machine original location, free additional space. then, import virtual machine original location.

also have watch ram usage, during merging process make sure you  enough ram , cpu,

i merging 1 of vm 1 tb and  used 20 gb ram. , took 2 hours.

good luck
