Managing server snapshots
A server snapshot captures the entire state of an ESX virtual machine at the time you create the
snapshot, including settings and virtual disks. The snapshot can be used later to revert the virtual
machine state. Optionally, you can include the contents of the virtual machine's memory. The state
of a physical disk is not preserved when you create a snapshot.
NOTE: This operation is supported only for ESX virtual machines.
You can access the server snapshot feature from the Services tab in infrastructure orchestration
console or on the My Services tab in infrastructure orchestration self service portal.
Use server snapshots
1. On the Services tab in infrastructure orchestration console or on the My Services tab in
infrastructure orchestration self service portal select the service you want to modify.

b. (Optional) Click to select Snapshot memory to include the contents of the virtual machine's
memory in the snapshot.
c. (Optional) Click to select Quiesce Filesystem (requires VMware Tools) to pause running
processes on the guest operating system so that the filesystem contents are in a known
consistent state when the snapshot is taken. This option applies only to VMs that are
powered on.
VMware Tools must be installed in the guest operating system for the filesystem to be
quiesced.
