<div dir="ltr">Dan's exactly right. After the ZFS snapshot, you can actually remove the VMware snapshot as well since it's only purpose is to exist in the ZFS snapshot so that you can roll back to it after recovering the VM from the ZFS snapshot.<br>

</div>Because the VM snapshot would not be against the ZFS snapshot, but rather,<br>
the live filesystem. So you take a hot snap (VMware), then a zfs snap.<br>
If you have to roll back, you can restore the entire VM directory, which<br>
would present you with the VM snapshot to then roll back to.<br>
