I have attached the error log. It looks like SMVI attempts to create the VMware snapshot and fails due to a protocol error from VMX. Doing a quick search on VMWare forums states its a problem with a custom quiescing scripts http://communities.vmware.com/message/1016429#1016429- is this a problem with SMVI's script to trigger the VMWare snapshot?As a side note I can manually create the VMWare snapshot. Also to note there are three smvi snapshots already in snapshot manager that look like they have never been committed. I have attached the .bmp file that shows this. I imagine it could be the error is being thrown due to the existing smvi snapshots present. Then my question is why is smvi not committing these snapshots? Solved!
