Vmware : Cannot create snapshot. Operation not allowed in current state

vmware_view_pilot-5132020[1]

  1. Login to the host where the virtual machine lies and try and do a snapshot via here instead of VCentre
  2. If Take Snapshot is greyed out on the host , then check the settings of the device for :
  • Does it have an PCI Devices cards mapped to it? E.g. for Use of Tape Drives. If so these will need to be removed as Vmware doesn’t support snapshotting these.
  • Does it have any physical mapped Drives to it instead of virtual , again is not supported for snapshotting
    1. Try shutting down the VM to see if you can snapshot it shutdown insteaf of powered off
  1. Restart the Management Agents on the hosts
