6.3.2.1 Snapshots<br />

Figure 6.4: Settings of a virtual machine<br />

UVMM offers the possibility to save the contents of the main and hard drive memory of a virtual machine in<br />

snapshots. This allows the administrator to revert to these snapshots at a later point in time, which makes<br />

them a useful “safety net” when installing software updates.<br />

Snapshots can only be used with KVM instances which access all their hard drive images in Qcow2 format.<br />

All snapshots are stored using copy-on-write (see 6.3.1) directly in the hard drive image file.<br />

Create new snapshot can be used to create a snapshot with the name of your choice, e.g., DC Master<br />

before update to <strong>UCS</strong> <strong>2.4</strong>-2. In addition to the description the time is saved when the snapshot is created.<br />

The following list shows all available snapshots ordered reverse-chronologically. Revert can be used to<br />

return the machine to an earlier snapshot and Delete can be used to remove a snapshot.<br />
