A VM has the following configuration:
2 vCPU
4 GB RAM
HDD1 10 GB
HDD2
20 GB
A vSphere Administrator creates a snapshot of a powered off VM.
What is the maximum size of all of the snapshots that can be consumed on the datastore?
A. 30 GB
B. 100% of the datastore minus 512 bytes
C. 34 GB
D. 50% of the datastore
Reference:
For example: You have a base disk of size
8
GB and 2 levels of snapshots, each of
4
GB each. During a Remove All Snapshot Tasks, the first snapshot
delta disk file can grow, worse-case scenario, to
8
GB, as all new blocks from the second snapshot are written. Any common changes stored in both snapshot levels do not require additional space.
Answer i believe is B due to this article.
