Virtual Machine Revert To Current Snapshot Task
Reverts the virtual machine to the current snapshot.
This is equivalent to doing snapshot.currentSnapshot.revert.
If no snapshot exists, then the operation does nothing, and the virtual machine state remains unchanged.
Required privileges: VirtualMachine.State.RevertToSnapshot
The unique identifier for the managed object to which the method attaches; the serialized managed object reference for a request has the form moType/moId
, in this case VirtualMachine/{moId}
.

"host": {

"type": "string",
"value": "string"
},
"suppressPowerOn": false
}
(optional) If set to true, the virtual machine will not be powered on regardless of the power state when the current snapshot was created. Default to false.
This method returns a Task object with which to monitor the operation.

TaskInProgress: if the virtual machine is busy.
NotSupported: if the host product does not support snapshots.
InsufficientResourcesFault: if this operation would violate a resource usage policy.
SnapshotFault: if an error occurs during the snapshot operation. Typically, a more specific fault like InvalidSnapshotFormat is thrown.
InvalidPowerState: if the operation cannot be performed in the current power state of the virtual machine.
InvalidState: if the operation cannot be performed because of the virtual machine's current state. For example, if the virtual machine configuration information is not available or if an OVF consumer is blocking the operation.
VmConfigFault: if a configuration issue prevents the power-on. Typically, a more specific fault, such as UnsupportedVmxLocation, is thrown.
FileFault: if there is a problem accessing the virtual machine on the filesystem.
NotFound: if the virtual machine does not have a current snapshot.
DisallowedOperationOnFailoverHost: if the virtual machine is being reverted to a powered on state and the host specified is a failover host. See ClusterFailoverHostAdmissionControlPolicy.
