Dear All
I can not understand the following event:
I have an NFS Data Store which I have cleaned up, I have moved all VMDK Files and have deleted some orpahn VMDK's, because I have space problem on this data Stor,
therefore I have now only just some VSC snapshot backups on this NFS Data Store and nothing else, but when I look at the snapshot size of this volume I can see the following picture:
(NetApp Release 8.1 7-Mode: Thu Mar 29 13:56:17 PDT 2012)
SANAASAN02*> snap list ESX_OS

/vol/ESX_OS/.snapshot 128GB 486GB 0GB 380% /vol/ESX_OS/.snapshot
I can see that 486GB are used for the snapshot's on this Data Store, but when I look this Data Store in my vCenter console, then I see that the same Data Store are displayed as Space Utilized as other with the size of 967.36GB,
As I had already explained I have moved or deleted all VMDK Files from this Data Store, actually I have only the VSC Snapshot Backup on this Data store, and normaly nothing else therefore I can not understand exactly what occupies this space, Its very strange for me.
