So I'm trying to be able to take snapshots on a guest and I get the error: file is larger than the max size supported by datastore. I've already moved the snapshot to it's own datastore but still get the error.
The VM is Thin Provisioned. When I browse the datastore the VMDK is 1.2TB and the provisioned size is 2TB. Does that provisioned size have to be less than 2TB to be able to do snapshots? If so, is VMWare tools the best way to reduce the provisioned size? Or should I do a storage vMotion to a thick datastore that is less than 2TB?
Thank you kindly for any input.
