Hi,
I have a SCVMM 2012 R2 instance with 3 hosts
I recently moved a VM between the hosts which failed. Having tidied up I was left with a bunch of checkpoints on the VM, which I removed via the SCVMM GUI
The VM shows that it has no checkpoints (which is good), however some other objects within SCVMM (Namely VM Networks) show the checkpoints as dependencies, meaning I can't delete the VM Network.
If I run get-scvmcheckpoint from powershell I'm returned 4 checkpoints, none of which have an associated VM
(output from most recent below)
ParentCheckpointID : 87F48F7D-AD2A-49BB-8E0A-F981317ABF2C CheckpointID : 20396B70-57A7-4CFD-9D3A-656F22F7A7BF VMId : 3d7da10d-8f22-44a0-bc31-4202244b857a IsViewOnly : False CheckpointHWProfile : Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.Checkpoint HardwareProfile VirtualDiskDrives : {VMMQSM1} VM : ObjectType : VMSnapshot Accessibility : Public Name : VMMQSM1 Description : Temp QSM data AddedTime : 03/02/2014 09:59:09 ModifiedTime : 03/02/2014 11:01:53 Enabled : True MostRecentTask : ServerConnection : Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.Remoting.S erverConnection ID : d1ebf759-0f17-4245-bf9f-ea7abe886ef0 MarkedForDeletion : False IsFullyCached : True MostRecentTaskIfLocal :
And If I try get-scvmcheckpoint | remove-scvmcheckpoint I'm just returned an error:
VMM cannot find a required object. (Error ID: 20404)
Ensure the object is valid, and then try the operation again.
Is there any way for me to remove these orphaned checkpoints?
