Committing snapshots from within the Service Console


Find the path to the VMX file of the virtual machine

# vmware-cmd -l

/vmfs/volumes/volume-UUID-or-name/vm1/vm1.vmx
/vmfs/volumes/volume-UUID-or-name/vm2/vm2.vmx

Determine if the virtual machine has snapshots:

# vmware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/volume-UUID-or-name/vm1/vm1.vmx hassnapshot

The output will look like one of the following:
hassnapshot() =

or

hassnapshot() = 1

Remove (or commit) the snapshot by running the following command:

# vmware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/volume-UUID-or-name/vm1/vm1.vmx removesnapshots
removesnapshots() = 1
