Purpose
This article provides information to monitor the snapshot deletion/consolation process using the vim-cmd command.
Resolution
To monitor snapshot deletion/consolidation using the vim-cmd command:
Open an SSH shell session to the host that is performing the consolidation and snapshot deletion task by running this command: vim-cmd vimsvc/task_list You see a task similar to: (ManagedObjectReference) [ 'vim.Task:haTask-9-vim.VirtualMachine.removeAllSnapshots-304060994' ] Run this command in the SSH shell: vim-cmd vimsvc/task_info haTask-9-vim.VirtualMachine.removeAllSnapshots-304060994 You see output similar to: (vim.TaskInfo) { dynamicType = , key = "haTask-9-vim.VirtualMachine.removeAllSnapshots-304060994", task = 'vim.Task:haTask-9-vim.VirtualMachine.removeAllSnapshots-304060994', description = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) null, name = "vim.VirtualMachine.removeAllSnapshots", descriptionId = "VirtualMachine.removeAllSnapshots",--running process> entity = 'vim.VirtualMachine:9', entityName = "SvC5sql01",---Virtual Machine name> state = "running",---make sure the status is running & is not in a error state> cancelled = false, cancelable = false, error = (vmodl.MethodFault) null, result = , progress = 33,---progress of task> reason = (vim.TaskReasonUser) { dynamicType = , userName = "root", }, queueTime = "2013-10-02T07:22:02.224526Z", startTime = "2013-10-02T07:22:02.225526Z", completeTime = , eventChainId = 304060994, changeTag = , parentTaskKey = , rootTaskKey = , }
Note: A complete and successful consolidation of the snapshot will show state = "success" when you run the above command.
