Snapshot Options

Use the Snapshot Options page to take a temporary VMware snapshot and specify options for the snapshot.

• Create Temporary VMware Snapshot—Select this checkbox to take a temporary VMware snapshot before taking a snapshot.

• Include memory—Select this checkbox to capture the virtual machine memory in the snapshot.

• Quiesce file systems (if available)—Select this checkbox to pause running processes in the guest operating system before taking

the snapshot. Pausing the processes ensures that the file system is in a known, consistent state when the snapshot is taken. (This

option requires that VMware tools are installed.) See VMware help for information about VMware

snapshot options.

Snapshot Profile

Use the Snapshot Profile page to select one or more Snapshot Profiles to apply to the Dell volume. For information about Snapshot

Profiles, see Introduction to Dell Storage.
