Can't take a snapshot of a full cloned VM

[Chris Welber]

I created a full clone of VM, but for some reason while it runs fine I can't snapshot it?

Any ideas why?

Thanks!

Please can you post the VM configuration?

Here's the 4200.conf file contents:

balloon: 3072
bootdisk: ide0
cores: 2
ide0: file=local:4200/vm-4200-disk-1.raw,size=100G

The local storage does not support snapshots for raw files (only with .qcow2 files).

I see, so when I cloned it went from .qcow2 to raw. This is good to know about cloning. Thanks!

Please note that you can select the disk format when you do a full clone on the GUI.
