Snapshot Sizing in ESX

jammanter — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:51:38 +0000

Does anyone know how much space is needed when trying to recommit snapshots back? Do you need on your disk the size of the *.vmdk file plus the snapshot file as well? Or, is there a formula that is used to determine this. We are trying to figure out if we can recommit some snapshots back when our free space is less than the size of the *.vmdk and the snapshot. Thank you.

Clipboard transfer between VNC on ESX 3.5

Stevev — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:29:44 +0000

We use the VNC funtionality from ESX 3.5 to connect to some of our virtual machines, but we cannot seem to copy the clipboard between host and guest.

Normally we use RDP to connect but some of the virtual machines have vpn software on them to connect to customers and they disconnect all network traffic, so that’s why we use VNC to connect to them.

Is there any way to enable the clipboard between host and guest via VNC viewer via the ESX 3.5 functionality?
