This causes the Current Snapshot and the Orphaned Snapshot to be consolidated to the Base Disk. Once at the OS X Desktop and the system has settled down then shutdown, not suspend, the Virtual Machine. Note: Starting the Virtual Machine in this manner will populate a new entry on the Virtual Machine Library window, which going forward you will use. Now start the Virtual Machine by double-clicking the "Mac OS X 10.8 64-bit.vmx" file and answer "I moved it" when prompted. Once the target Virtual Machine Package is copied then open the copied Package and delete all but the following files. As an example if the actual used space in the virtual hard disk is ~60 GB then you need ~140 GB free.
#Snap shut for mac free#
Without knowing the amount of used space by the Guest OS as seen from within the running Guest OS the actual amount of necessary free Host disk space cannot be calculated to less then the theoretical needs.
Theoretically 160+ GB of free space is needed for both the copy of the Package and space to consolidate, although the actual number will be less. The virtual hard disk is an 80 GB monolithicSparse type disk and current the Base Disk is ~52 GB and the Snapshot Disk is ~28 GB for a total of 80 GB.
With VMware Fusion closed, copy the "/Volumes/ML SSD/Users/Shared/Mac OS X 10.8.3 64-bit.vmwarevm" Virtual Machine Package to a Volume that has adequate free space to allow for consolidating snapshots. After we talked on the phone last night I started to write up the steps although we just ended up doing it by phone this morning, so for the sake of others this is what was done.
