Create a Snapshot
A snapshot captures the states of a virtual machine’s hard drives. A snapshot does not capture the virtual
machine's memory and power state.
Snapshot commands are available to the users and groups who were given control when the virtual machine
was requested. The LCM Administrator can also use snapshots. You can access only one snapshot at a time. If
you need to revert to a snapshot earlier than the most recent one, contact your LCM Administrator.
