There is no more space for virtual disk VMSVR-000001.vmdk
We came in this morning not able to log into vCenter. after trying to restart services it still did not work then I went to event viewer to see what errors came up. browsed online on the event ID that was listed and it was related to the SQL server. I go and find the SQL server on another host and I got the following message
"There is no space for virtual disk vmsvr-000001.vmdk. you might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the volume"
I have retry and cancel. I have clicked on both and cant get into the server
I noticed it has a snapshot and when trying to add more space to the HDs they are greyed out and they seem to be pointing to the snapshot
How do I resolve this?
Should I delete the snapshot? How do get the HDs to point to the correct HDs?

So I now have about 786 GB available.
Should i try retry before deleting the snapshot or go ahead and delete the snap shot?
Does this mean the snapshot did not complete due to the limited space on the data store?
