-------------------------------------
Hari,
supported items are marked with a plus sign:
+ Create snapshot for a specified VM
+ Revert VM to a specified snapshot
+ Delete a specified snapshot
+ List snapshots for a specified VM
+ Support creating of 'VM' snapshots (“preserve the state and data of a VM at a
specific point in time.“) of both a powered on and powered off VM
+ Able to provide choices for a) if memory state is needed b) if file system
needs to be quiesced if the VM is powered on
[mice] provide choices for snapshotMemory or not.
does quiesced mean halt/suspend? the VM will be in snapshoting state before
snapshot is taken successfully, in this state, VM is not able to accept any
operations.
+ Remove a snapshot and delete any associated storage
+ Remove all snapshots of a VM
+ Revert to a snapshot
- Admin can place a limit on the number of stored snapshots per user
[mice] global limit per VM
- Users can create snapshots manually or by setting up automatic recurring
snapshot policies** Snapshots can be created on an hourly, daily, weekly, or
monthly interval. One snapshot policy can be set up per VM
- With each snapshot schedule, users can also specify the number of scheduled
snapshots to be retained** Older snapshots that exceed the retention limit are
automatically deleted.
- This user-defined limit must be equal to or lower than the global limit set
by the CloudStack administrator.
- The limit applies only to those snapshots that are taken as part of an
automatic recurring snapshot policy. Additional manual snapshots can be created
and retained
