    How to create snapshots in another location then the VMs folder

    September 28th, 2011

    This works only with ESX3 and ESX4
    Power down the VM
    Add a line to the .vmx configuration

    workingDir = “/vmfs/volumes/4e804054-a8b90408-d7d4-001e0b6dd2ce/vm-snapshots”

    The esxpress gui is being used, make your changes there

    September 28th, 2011

    You are using ESXpress and try to change the configuration from the console using ‘phd’.
    This error pops up trying to save the configuration: “The esxpress gui is being used, make your changes there”.
    The ESXpress software thinks it is controlled by the virtual phd appliance.
    If you are not using that anymore, this can be disabled in the configuration on the host:
    /etc/phd/esxpress.cfg
    Change to ‘no’

    # Global Quorum Configs
    PHD_Q_ENABLE=’No’
    #PHD_Q_ENABLE=Yes
