Hi,
As I read the documentation in FreeNAS for VMWare Aware Snapshots, VMWare should not actually list any snapshots within its management console - so as to not bleed performance on the vmware side (nested snapshot destroy io performance).
As I understand this - I would expect that the process would be;
FreeNAS tells ESXi that its going to fire a snapshot. ESXi then Quieses the guests where possible (thanks to vmware tools, VSS, etc). FreeNAS then issues a ZFS Snapshot. FreeNAS then tells ESXi to consolidate the snapshot back into a single vmdk, then jobs done.
Actually rolling back to a snapshot would be a somewhat more difficult task (destroying the current VM, replacing the folder structure with what was in the ZFS snapshot, reattaching the VM to ESXi and then firing it up again) - but still possible.
Not sure if i'm reading this wrong, but this does not seem to be the case. Looking inside the folder on putty i see the following;
then looking at the host and freenas;
After reading another thread on here about someone trying to do something similar (and that the VMWare support is new to 9.3) - is this only supported on iSCSI mounts?

Storage ‣ VMware-Snapshot allows you to coordinate ZFS snapshots when using VMware as a datastore. Once this type of snapshot is created, FreeNAS® will automatically snapshot any running VMware virtual machines before taking a scheduled or manual ZFS snapshot of the dataset or zvol backing that VMware datastore. The temporary VMware snapshots are then deleted on the VMware side but still exist in the ZFS snapshot and can be used as stable resurrection points in that snapshot. These coordinated snapshots will be listed in Snapshots.
