Deleting checkpoints from exported hypervm
Hi. First time encountering this issue. Another tech created 2 x checkpoints within the space of a week early in December of a 2.1tb file server. Currently on the storage cluster there is only 900gb space, so probably going to run into issues trying to delete the checkpoints.
I've exported the entire machine to an external drive. Theory is to delete the checkpoints and then re-import (external drive is 6tb so plenty of space).
Not sure on how best to import the exported vm - as this will become the master once the checkpoints are deleted I dont think it should have a different SID - during the deletion of checkpoints it won't have internet access so shouldn't cause any problems on the network.
So when importing from the initial export is it best to select register or restore?
Given when the checkpoints are deleted I will then need to export it again to the main storage cluster and import once more, again I assume using register or restore?
Any guidance gladly received.
Without overthinking it, the wording alone shifts how people read this which is why the comments look the way they do That’s what makes this interesting. Curious how this plays out.
From where I sit, the main issue seems to be how this is handled Interested to see the follow-up. That’s just my read on it.
Stepping back, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which makes the reaction pretty predictable We’ll see how people react over time.
Looking at this, this reads stronger on paper than in practice Others will probably see it differently.
this feels rushed rather than thought through That’s what changes the context. Others will probably see it differently.
On the surface, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage At least from my perspective.
Looking at this, this solves one problem while creating another which is why this is getting picked apart That part stands out. Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s just my read on it.
Real talk, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s where it gets complicated
this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that friction is hard to ignore Time will tell. That’s the impression it gives me.
Putting bias aside, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s why opinions are all over the place
If we’re being honest, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that tension shows up immediately That’s what changes the context.
Not gonna lie, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where it gets complicated Others will probably see it differently.
Stepping back, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which turns this into more of a debate Let’s see what happens next.

From a practical angle, the signal is clear, the strategy less so
Honestly, the follow-through is what will decide this That part stands out.
From a practical angle, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s what people are responding to That’s just how it reads to me. Others will probably see it differently.

To be fair, the way this is presented changes how it lands That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Reaction: Take it off us, It burns us!!!

From my side, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which turns this into more of a debate That’s what changes the context. This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s just my read on it.
From the outside, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s the part people are stuck on Let’s see what happens next. Others will probably see it differently.
this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s what changes the context. That’s just my read on it.
At this point, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s where people will push back Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage so the response doesn’t surprise me That part stands out. Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.
On the surface, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what makes this interesting.

Bluntly speaking, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That part stands out.
Honestly, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Hard to say where this lands long term.

I get the idea, this feels like a half-step, not a full move That’s the key detail here. Curious how this plays out.
From my side, this comes across more reactive than planned That’s what changes the context. Not convinced this is settled yet. That’s just my read on it.
the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s where people will push back Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s just my read on it.
I get the idea, the timing matters more than people admit
this depends heavily on what happens next which turns this into more of a debate
If you zoom out, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where people will push back That’s the key detail here. Interested to see the follow-up.
From my side, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which explains why reactions are split Curious how this plays out.
