DRAG DROP
You create a snapshot of a running virtual machine (VM) before applying a new service pack
for the operating system. You receive an alert that the host is running low on disk space on
the volume where you took a snapshot of the VM. You need to free up disk space on the
volume while ensuring that future restarts of the VM are successful. Which three actions
should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of
actions to the answer area, and arrange them in the correct order.)
Explanation:
1. Delete Snapshot to immediately start the merge.
2. Power Off the VM.
3. Start the VM after the merge completes.
Create a snapshot and get a message you are running out of space.

The original VHD is the base of all snapshots, you have to merge the snapshots into the
original VHD. If you have enough space left on the disk, you can just delete all the snapshots
and then power off the VM, the snapshots will be merge into its original VHD.
