Managing host snapshots
You can install the Snapshot Management plugin and create virtual machine snapshots from orcharhino to capture a point-in-time state before risky changes.
Installing the Snapshot Management plugin
You can install the Snapshot Management plugin on your orcharhino.
-
Install the Snapshot Management plugin on your orcharhino Server:
$ orcharhino-installer --enable-foreman-plugin-snapshot-management
Creating snapshots of a host
You can use the Snapshot Management plugin to create snapshots of hosts.
|
Keeping more than three snapshots per host slows down the creation and rollback process. Consider deleting older snapshots when creating new ones. |
-
You have installed the Snapshot Management plugin successfully. For more information, see Installing the Snapshot Management plugin.

In the Snapshots card, click Create Snapshot.
-
Enter a Name.
