The issue has been resolved in VC 8.0.
To workaround the issue, please follow the below mentioned steps: SSH to vCenter appliance using root user. Copy the prepare_vc_for_lvm_snapshot.sh script attached to this article to any directory except /tmp. Make the script executable by running: chmod +x prepare_vc_for_lvm_snapshot.sh Execute the script with option --precheck to know if LVM is enabled on root and snapshot disk is configured: If LVM is not enabled on root:Precheckroot@vcsa_name [ ~ ]# ./prepare_vc_for_lvm_snapshot.sh --precheckINFO Check if LVM is enabled on root and snapshot disk is configured.INFO Root is not on LVMRun /prepare_vc_for_lvm_snapshot.sh to prepare VC for LVM snapshot.
