Virtualization - snapshotVirtualGuest
Virtualization - snapshotVirtualGuest
Description :
This command snapshots a virtual guest on the hypervisor, and stores the snapshot with the virtual guest's disk files. This is only supported for Citrix,VMware, and RHEV. The memory snapshot option is not supported by this command.
To get the virtualEntityKey, use the getVirtualGuestKeyByServerName command. The virtualEntityKey contains spaces. Therefore, you need to enclose this key in double quotes each time you use it.
This command returns a string indicating whether or not the snapshot completed correctly.
Return type : String
Command Input :
Variable Name | Variable Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

snapshotName | String | Name of the guest snapshot |
