Automatic Snapshot Delete hangs

Hello,

I am useing Paralles 8 Build 8.0.18354 on my iMac.

My Windows 7 virtual machine is configured for optimized Time Machine usage.

Parallels started an automated snapshot deleting 3 hours ago and seems not to end, it stops at 66% and is still there, nothing happens.

What can I do to solve the problem?

Many greetings from Germany

Andrew,

thanks for this information, I am sorry it does not work.

I get the following screen

makadi-bay:~ andy$ prl_disk_tool merge --hdd/parallels/Windows\ 7.pvm/Windows\ 7.hdd
Invalid option '--hdd/parallels/Windows 7.pvm/Windows 7.hdd'.
Usage:
<operation> [<arguments>...] [--comm <name of shared memory>]
<operation> :
resize .................. resize disk image.
mandatory arguments:
--split split the virtual hard disk by 2 GB.
--size <size>[M|G] sets the virtual hard disk size in MB (by default) or GB.
--hdd <path to *.hdd> path to the virtual hard disk image file.
optional arguments:
--resize_partition resize the last partition while resizing the disk.
--force

and so on

What is to be done

Thanks from Germany
Andreas

 

Look at the kb carefully, you need a space between --hdd and the path

it's "--hdd /parallels/..." not "--hdd/parallels/..."

 

yes, thanks
