Hi all,
Using the above combination and upon performing an import on applications using virtual machines to perform repackaging etc, it is taking approximately 8 minutes for vcenter to initiate the revert to snapshot as per changebase configuration. vCenter is not performing any other operations at this point.
When applying permissions to the datastore of these machines (to keep things simple) - I noticed changebase fails with unable to open vmx, turns out I had to apply permissions at the datacentre level. Changebase fails if you try to use the vmx configuration in format "[DS] Folder/MYVM" - It only appears to work when you specify the name (without extension) of the vmx - it appears and I am guessing it is performing a recursive search across all datastores until a match is found
8 minutes of waiting until the vm's are reverted seems a bit far fetched - has anyone witness similar issues ?
Alternative solutions such as isolated hosts with single DS might be a workaround but simply over complicates things. I am not keen to use VMware workstation as we have much more powerful resources in the datacentre. ChangeBASE have been engaged but so far no response.
Any suggestions or light would be appreciate
