Re: [Xen-API] Delete a snapshot

[R J <torushikeshj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vijay,

You could look at vmpp ( VM Protection Policy ) to take periodic snapshots and delete the oldest one.

Another safe way would be to create a Parent-Child relation amongst the VM-Snapshot and compare the dates / timestamps.
Have you checked the "other-config (MRW): last_shutdown_time " ?

Hi – I am trying to figure out a way to delete a snapshot from a VM and could not find the right API to do that. I basically want to delete the most oldest snapshot of a VM. How do I do that?
I found the timetamp field of the VM class, but that  is returning invalid timestamp for a timestamp for me for some reason. Any idea how to figure out the oldest snapshot and delete it?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

Vijay R
