Nandini, is this a web ui issue or a provider backend issue? To confirm, see if these values are in the database. Thx
The VM snapshot size is being recorded in the DB. Record # 458 corresponds to the base disk and Record # 4615 corresponds to the snapshot. vmdb_production=# select * from storage_files\x\g\x -[ RECORD 4586 ]--+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- id | 4584 name | [cfme-esx-55-02-local] cu-24x7/cu-24x7-flat.vmdk size | 10737420288 mtime | 2015-04-29 12:16:41 rsc_type | file base_name | cu-24x7-flat.vmdk ext_name | vmdk storage_id | 11 vm_or_template_id | 249 -[ RECORD 4615 ]--+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- id | 4613 name | [cfme-esx-55-02-local] cu-24x7/cu-24x7-Snapshot4.vmsn size | 28982 mtime | 2015-04-29 12:19:53 rsc_type | file base_name | cu-24x7-Snapshot4.vmsn ext_name | vmsn storage_id | 11 vm_or_template_id | 249
Hi Dan, We tried it in Openstack and Amazon providers(in VmWare it is not possible as Adam stated) and we did not find either option to create snapshots. (this option is basically in view where snapshot size is displayed) So in that case, should we remove "Snapshot size" field from UI ? Thanks!
Dan, In the past, I think we may have collected this information through the remote smart proxy (accessing the files directly). Now that we no longer support the remote smart proxy we would have to obtain the information through the VIM API. Adam believes doing so would be non-trivial. Rich
