해결 방안
To correct the issue follow these steps.
- Open the vSphere client and connect to the VC/Host where the replica VM can be found.

Additional troubleshooting steps for stale snapshots in the datastore.
- Please login to the Virtual Center.
- In the Datastores inventory, browse the affected VM's folder and review if you have snapshots that do not exist in Snapshot Manager. The name convention of the snapshots is VMname-00000N.vmdk.
- Go to Hosts and Clusters, and navigate to the affected VM.
- Right on the VM and try to create a snapshot, uncheck the memory option.
- Confirm that snapshots are created successfully or if the same issue persists.
- If the issue reproduces, it could be possible that there could be some orphan snapshot for the VM.
