        Farissi_Oussama  If this is specific to 3 VM's then i suggest to work with VMware admin for this.

        Also check if these VM's are part of cluster and have shared disks ?

        Check if these VM's have RAW disks attached ? 

        Please know that RAW and shared disks snapshot cannot be done. You must install an agent to backup such VM's.
