  Convert VMware Snapshot into Memory Dump Background   This document explains about generating a memory dump for a VMWare Virtual Machine when the machine becomes unresponsive. VM becomes unresponsive for various reasons, you may not be able to get into any OS related settings or access any application. Even users may get not be able to access any shares or resources of this machine.   In this type of situation Memory dump would be required to  analyze  the cause. Even if the OS is configured to generate a Memory Dump for System Crashes, it would not be able to generate a Memory Dump for System Unresponsiveness most of the  times. But  with a VMWare VM, you can take a snapshot of the machine when it is unresponsive and then use vmss2core.exe tool to convert the snapshot to a Memory Dump. The target audience for this information is any technician that is responsible for creating and deleting snapshot in the Levi virtualization environment.   Note ...
