I am observing a strange scenario, I am trying to zip contents of VM directory in to a tar with gzip filter applied to it, but when it tries to tar-compress x-flat.vmdk, ESXi ssh connection running the command freezes and also VI Client connected to ESXi host also lose connection.
Further, I am trying to do that operation when installed VM is powered on. Is there a way to zip VM directory if tar is not able to do right thing here.
I am in urgent need of a solution, any timely help is highly appreciated.
Thanks!
