hyper-v snapshot sizing

-

im configuring hyper-v server host 5 virtual machines.total capacity 100tb.if want run snapshots how calculate capacity snapshots

 

samj

unless understand how goiing implement snapshots, difficult anticipate.

there 2 types: when vm running, when vm powered off.

when vm powered off need worry virutal disk snapshot files.  when vm running need worry virtual disk snpashot files in addition saved runngin memory state.  configuration , meta data small barely worth worrying about.

the saved memory state easier deal equal the memory setting of the vm.  2gb of ram = 2gb saved state file.

the virtual disk snapshots files are different story.  each differencing disk, means each has maximum size equal first vhd in chain.  amount of change that is written disk between each snapshot determins how large each be.  conservative estimate each snapshot can equal parent vhd size.  so, if have vm 40gb virtual disk snapshot take additional 40gb of storage (unlikely, happen).
