Comment: Fix - 13917 - Restore snapshot powers off VM

...

The VMware snapshots feature has the following Abiquo properties, which you can set on the Abiquo API server. See Abiquo configuration properties

Property

Description

abiquo.snapshot.autodelete.polling.minutes

Time to wait between each check for expired snapshots.
Default: 30

abiquo.snapshot.autodelete.hours

Time that a snapshot lives before it expires.
An expired snapshot is still usable until the check for expired snapshots deletes it.
If the value is 0, then there is no limit and the snapshots will never expire.
Default: 0

abiquo.snapshot.autodelete.hours.limit

Maximum snapshot lifetime that a privileged user can configure when they take a snapshot.
If the value is 0, then there is no limit to the snapshot lifetime
Default: 0

To override the default values, you can also set these properties as Enterprise properties for a specific tenant. See Set enterprise properties to store tenant details and metadata.  

...

When you revert a VM to the snapshot, you will overwrite the current state of the VM and it will be lost.

If you restore a VM when it is powered on, after the restore, the VM will be in a powered off state.

You can select the option to suspend (pause) the VM while reverting, and if the snapshot has the VM memory, it will revert to a paused state. If the VM doesn't have memory, it will always be powered off.
