    VMware does not support snapshots of raw disks, RDM physical mode disks, or guest operating systems that use an iSCSI initiator in the guest.

    Virtual machines with independent disks must be powered off before you take a snapshot. Snapshots of powered-on or suspended virtual machines with independent disks are not supported

    If a virtual machine has virtual hard disks larger than 2TBs, snapshot operations can take significantly longer to finish. (BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE)
