Checking if virtual machine consolidation is required

To check if virtual machine consolidation is required:
Select a vCenter Server host or a cluster and click the Virtual Machines tab.
Right-click the menu bar for any virtual machine column and click Needs Consolidation. The Needs Consolidation column appears.

A Yes status indicates that the snapshot files for the virtual machine should be consolidated and that the virtual machine’s Tasks and Events tab shows a configuration problem.
A No status indicates that the files are OK.

Note: A Configuration Issue warning is also displayed in the Summary tab of the virtual machine indicating that virtual machine disk consolidation is needed.
