Snapshot error on Hyper-V

Hi

Running snapshot on Windows 2008 ENT Hyper-V server for a VM, I'm getting
the following error:

An error occurred while attempting to take a snapshot of virtual machine
Test.
Taking a snapshot of 'Test' failed.
The operation was passed an invalid parameter.

It's strange, because the snapshot is actually taken, .avhd file is created,
also all the changes are written to this file, but under Snapshots for this
VM I don't see any snapshots created.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Regards,Miha

RE: Snapshot error on Hyper-V

Miha,

Are you sure all the changes were written to the snapshot? Check to make
sure you have space available on the LUN that is equal to the VM you are
trying to snapshot. If you attempted to create a snapshot and there wasn't
enough drive space available to complete the process, then you would have a
avhd created that was populated with changes, but it would not be associated
with the VM config.
