To make
the VM user familiar with VM manager and the practices to be followed while
maintaining different machine states.
Snapshot Manager:-
A typical VM Scenario represents multiple states of the machine/environment in
form of snapshots. These
snapshots are being managed by an interface called Snapshot manager
Snapshot manager enables you mange VM states through a set of
commands for which there are controls given in snapshot manager.
>Take Snapshot
>Go to
>Delete
>Clone

1.Taking a snapshot:-
Taking a snap shot implies capturing
a state of the machine at any point of time. This can be done through Take
Snapshot control given in
snapshot manager. It basically captures the state of the machine and assigns
name and description to it.
Steps Involved
a) Click on Take
snapshot button.
b) Give appropriate name and description that best describes
the sate.
c) Wait till the time status is shown as 100% completed.
2.Go To:-Once
machine’s state has been captured any point of time, current state of the machine can always be
reverted to that state with the help of Go To. By doing so user would
loose the current state of the machine.
Steps Involved
a)Select the state to
which current state is to be reverted
b)Click on Go To
c)Wait till the time state has been completely restored.
3.Delete
Steps Involved
a)Select the state which is to be deleted.
b)Click on Delete
c)Wait till the time state has been completely deleted.

Practices to be
followed for VM maintenance while executing Test packs
ü
Keep minimum last two snapshots of the machine’s
to keep the data for previous two month’s test pack execution.
ü
To start pack execution for any month, install
first available build of the month on the Pilot of the previous month.
ü
A Pilot build should always be installed on the
Pilot of previous month’s Pilot.
