Create Snappshot issue

[Gary Escoffery]

I wrote this as a response to a different topic but I'm not sure if anyone can see this so I created my own topic.

Whenever I create Snapshots using the api (virtualMachine.Snapshots.CreateSnapshot(name, "test snapshot");) they don't work. The VM logs it as a snapshot but there is no vmem file and the state of the Snapshot isn't saved. As a result, I can't restore to the Snapshot in question. If I manually create a snapshot it creates the vmem file and the reverttosnapshot() works as expected.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how do I cause it to create the vmem file?

No idea what's going on, but it would be helpful if you told us which versions of VixCOM you're using and stuff like that.

Sorry I never got back I didn't realize you responded. But I figured out what my problem was. I never realized I needed to add the flag to include memory I assumed it was enabled by default so added it and it works.

Thanks again

Can you be more specific? :) That might help someone else.

[Gary Escoffery]

Yes sorry. I'm not getting emails anymore whenever there's a response. Anyway.

In the CreateSnapshot function it passes a default flag of 0 which means don't save memory. But if you pass "Constants.VIX_SNAPSHOT_INCLUDE_MEMORY" as the flag it dumps the memory as you would expect.

Thanks for your help.
