Hi Asai, In my opinion, doing a VM snapshot is making a step in the wrong direction. Your applications/system running inside your VMs should be designed to handle an OS crash. Then a new VM, freshly installed, should be able to get back into your application setup so that you have again an appropriate number of healthy nodes.
