Vsphere cloud plugin won't revert to a snapshot















I've been trying to reproduce this issue on a couple different vCenters - but no luck so far.  If there was a build step for this plugin to perform the revert, it still wouldn't work.  The problem is not so much in the plugin - as in the communication with vCenter.  vCenter just won't do the revert when asked to.  If the API call was in question, then it would fail on all systems.

Looking back through the notes, I did see something interesting:
INFO: [vsphere] Got an exception
Mar 6, 2013 10:19:50 AM org.jenkinsci.plugins.vSphereCloud InternalLog
INFO: [vsphere] com.vmware.vim25.RestrictedVersion

The RestrictedVersion has me wondering if the vCenter is somehow restricting the API from performing a revert.  I KNOW that vCenter is sensative to how it gets it commands.  The vSphere Client may be able to perform certain actions, but those same actions - performed via any API (PowerShell, Java, Python, whatever) will be rejected due to the licensing of vCenter.  Classic example is the free ESXi host.  Can't control it via API, only via the vSphere Client.

Vsphere cloud plugin won't revert to a snapshot















I am trying to find a workaround to this. As i mentioned, when not setting a snapshot to revert to, the slave launches up and everything works fine. It's only when I specify a snapshot that this problem happen

Therefor,  I wonder if there's a way to revert to snapshot as a build step and not when the slave is launched ? This might be a good workaround to my problem.

Thanks
