The create snapshot API is this in upstream Nova: https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/#create-image-createimage-action There is no distinction between a live and cold snapshot in the end user REST API. That's dependent on the backend compute driver. For example, the libvirt driver may attempt to perform a live snapshot if possible, but falls back to a cold snapshot if that's not possible. Other drivers could do the same. As for the difference between the OpenStack concept of a snapshot and the VMware concept of a snapshot, I don't know what that is, but I can saw we wouldn't add a VMware-specific REST API for snapshots to the compute API when we already have the createImage API. So some design work would be involved if you wanted to upstream this.

Re: [openstack-dev] VMWare Type Snapshot for Openstack 4.3
Matt That is correct. This is for the IBM ICMO product. Here is the only reference I see in the IBM documentation regarding this. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SST55W_4.3.0/liaca/liaca_cfg_snapshot.html Is there an Openstack document that shows how to extend openstack to do something like this?

I think you're looking at some forked code because that doesn't exist in upstream Nova: https://github.com/openstack/nova/tree/master/nova/api/openstack/compute I seem to remember a team in China at IBM working on VMware snapshots years ago, or something like this, for a product, so maybe you stumbled upon that. -- Thanks, Matt __ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev __ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
