  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • PureApplication Software Workload Environment does not store
    snapshot delta disks with parent VMDK when VMX and parent
    VMDK's are on different datastores. The default behavior of
    VMware is to store the snapshot delta disks with parent VMDKs
    on ESXi 5.X and higher versions. This could fill up a datastore
    even if there is space left on the volume where the parent VMDK
    is stored.
    

Local fix

  • For each virtual machine, power it off and modify its VMX file
    to set snapshot.redoNotWithParent=false
    

Problem summary

  • After upgrade all the compute node and Storage is in unavailable
    state.
    

Problem conclusion

  • VMDK and VMX were in different Datastores, corrected on Cloud
    Pak System 2.3.0.1
    

Temporary fix
