I am fairly new with VMWare myself, but its possible that there is still a "delta" file somewhere. Snapshot basically stores all the changes you make to the machine after the snapshot in a separate file known as a "Delta". Consolidating merges the files together. Try opening the snapshot manager and deleting the snapshot the process may have created (If one is present)– Cheesus CrustCommented Aug 25, 2017 at 12:58

If you're updating packages, you may well need to reboot, so zero down-time will be unattainable. Taking a snapshot is bound to have an impact on performance, and it can take a long time. To resolve the warning, see this reference.– AFHCommented Aug 25, 2017 at 13:03

@CheesusCrust I don't have it in the Snapshot manager. I added the error stack– KaymazCommented Aug 25, 2017 at 13:08

I found in a VMWare Forum post that recommended creating a new snapshot (letting it finish) and then deleting it might fix the problem as well. Worth a try?– Cheesus CrustCommented Aug 25, 2017 at 13:12

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
