Hi,
I was working again with VMware snapshots today to test this functionality
against CloudStack's managed storage.
I have a question that perhaps one of you can answer:
Let's say I have a root volume called ROOT-1.vmdk.
I take a snapshot of the applicable VM, which produces the following
configuration for its root volume:
ROOT-1.vmdk
^
|
ROOT-1-000001.vmdk (Snapshot 1)
I take another snapshot of the VM:
ROOT-1.vmdk
^
|
ROOT-1-000001.vmdk (Snapshot 1)
^
|
ROOT-1-000002.vmdk (Snapshot 2)
Let's say I revert to Snapshot 1.
I see the following behavior:
ROOT-1.vmdk
^
|
ROOT-2-000002.vmdk (Snapshot 2) ROOT-2-000003.vmdk (Snapshot 1)
>From this, it appears both Snapshot 1 and Snapshot 2 have the same parent
now.
The only way I see this making sense is if the data in ROOT-1-000001.vmdk
was merged into ROOT-1-000002.vmdk.
Is this what happens in this situation?
Thanks!
