Path Parameters

string

moId

Required

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 VirtualMachineSnapshot/{moId}.

string

Request Body

RevertToSnapshotRequestType of type(s) application/json

Required

"RevertToSnapshotRequestType Object"

host

Optional

(optional) Choice of host for the virtual machine, in case this operation causes the virtual machine to power on.

If a snapshot was taken while a virtual machine was powered on, and this operation is invoked after the virtual machine was powered off, the operation causes the virtual machine to power on to reach the snapshot state. This parameter can be used to specify a choice of host where the virtual machine should power on.

If this parameter is not set and the vBalance feature is configured for automatic load balancing, a host is automatically selected. Otherwise, the virtual machine keeps its existing host affiliation.

boolean

suppressPowerOn

Optional

(optional) If set to true, the virtual machine will not be powered on regardless of the power state when the snapshot was created. Default to false.
