Hi all,
I'd like to be able to utilise the vRA API external to vmware to create a Snaphot for an active VM. Then I'd like to use the API again to 'Apply' and 'Delete' that created Snapshot when I need to.
This is effectively simulating the functionality on the standard web portal, after selecting an Item name, choosing the Snapshots tab and carrying out the 'New Snapshot' functionality first, then the Apply or Delete option on the snapshot entry itself.
The API documentation doesn't seem to cover this in either the core reference or API use cases.
I've used Chrome advanced tools to capture/debug actual web portal actions - that usually gives a clue as to any methods being called and how the API data model is being used. In the case of snapshots I get references to createSnapshot.aspx POST but the data in the requests seems pretty basic.
Has anyone managed to work out how to create and manipuate machine Snapshots using the API?
My vRA is version 6.2.x in case that helps.
Thanks in advance for any comments & suggestions.
FJBob.
