For those who are interested in this, it appears you have to write a
SnapshotStrategy implementation and override the canHandle method (this is
the default implementation, which is provided by the
XenserverSnapshotStrategy class):
@Override
public StrategyPriority canHandle(Snapshot snapshot, SnapshotOperation
op) {
if (op == SnapshotOperation.REVERT) {
return StrategyPriority.CANT_HANDLE;
}
return StrategyPriority.DEFAULT;
}
That being the case, the revert button won't show up under "standard"
operation.
