Post subject:  VVOL vmware snapshot issue, revert takes over 1hr

Anyone seen anything like this before?

Running 6.7u3, hosts and vCenter. Only on VM's which are running on our VVOL container, VMFS seems fine.

I have a ~450MB snapshot a few days old, and reverting to it on this VM which is on 3par VMware VVOL storage takes over 1 HOUR to complete!

Vmware logs show not much really, any ideas how I can dig deeper to solve this issue? It seems bonkers.

If I take a snap, and instantly revert to current snapshot another test VM on a VVOL, it displays similar type of behaviour, which is it shoots up to 33%, hangs for a while, then moves up the percentage and completes. Seeing as the snap was only a few small MB in size, it does it in about 20 seconds, however any snap revert on VMFS is instant pretty much.

Not great... :(
