Hello,
I am attempting to create copy on write snapshot of my Windows Server 2008 R2 VM for testing purposes. I would like to be able to snapshot the VM at a point in time, make changes, delete the snapshot and be back to the time before taking the snapshot.
I have completed the following steps:
1. Created a snapshot of my vm disk image.
2. Added the disk image tag to the VM configuration.
3. Edited the VM configuration file to use the snapshot as the ide0 device.
4. Attempted to start the VM, I receive the following error.
Can someone guide me as to what I am doing wrong?
*Also*, output from pveversion:
