Hi Dude! Yes, I have seen that happen (although in my case it was another product not VMware SRM) . It doesn't matter what product it is - if there is *anything* else in the environment that is doing VM snapshots - including humans, you have to set up your schedules so they don't conflict. Else sooner or later this will happen.

We've had several instances where VM's have issued an alert about Virtual Machine consolidation needed. And just last night we had one of our file server VM's have snapshots with invalid parents and the VM was totally unresponsive. These events seem to occur when the TSM/VE backup completes and the snapshot is deleted. We are at VMware 5.5. Bill Boyer DSS, Inc. (610) 927-4407 "Enjoy life. It has an expiration date." - ??
