To create and manage a product snapshot and save the product state at a particular point in time, use VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
Managed snapshots are available for VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. However, if you initiate a snapshot directly, outside of VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, the snapshot is no longer managed in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
Procedure
Results
Note:
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle saves state and configuration details for the product's virtual appliance. For more information, see KB article
56361.
- The partial or inconsistent snapshot does not provide the revert option.
- You can rollback or revert a snapshot that you created during an upgrade or a scale-out in the Requests tab.
- When you deploy vRealize Suite products, a custom attribute is created on vCenter to support the snapshot inventory from VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
What to do next
After you create a product snapshot, you can revert the product virtual appliance to the state of the snapshot.
