Greetings,
When removing a snapshot, why does the following sub task is executed:
- Merging snapshot of disk DiskNname ?
Attached a screenshot of the tasks executed.
I'm just wondering why there is a need to perform merge ?
Thanks,
Mohyedeen

Hi,
I'll try to explain - I hope that I'll get it right :)
Lets say that you have a vm with one disk, and you create a snapshot - what it actually
does is creating another disk and start writing to it from this point. Now lets say that
you create another snapshot now - again, it'll create another disk and start writing
to it.
Now if you want to remove the first snapshot, you need to merge the information that was
written on this snapshot, so you won't loose data in the second snapshot.

Thanks Meital,
