I'm starting to learn this product - and am reading the documentation. In the Operating Guide (Release 5.2 page 71) there is a discussion of "Enabling Snapshot Manager" - from the content I gather that what we are setting is first who can create snapshots (using vCenter) against the VM, how many snapshot will be allowed, and "WHEN A SNAPSHOT BECOMES TOO OLD TO APPLY."
This last prompts my question - if I set an obsolete date, and a snapshot crosses that threshold, will the system automatically consolidate that snapshot into the VM? If not, then I could end up with situations where I had snapshot files that I could not fully manage ... if, for instance, I had a series of snapshots and the oldest became obsolete, then I could never commit my newer snapshots into my original VM ...
Just curious,
Bob
