I have an ESXi 4.1 host with local storage. I am trying to use a third party backup product called PHD that uses snapshots to backup VMs. I have a 1TB VM that is on a local storage data store that only has about 190GB free. I am receiving an error that a snap shot can not be created due to space.
My question is this, is there away around this? I have another local data store on that host that has about 500GB free. Is it possible to use that other data store for this VM's snapshots?
Any helpd would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
