Mice Xia commented on CLOUDSTACK-684:
-------------------------------------

Hari,

supported items are marked with a plus sign:

+ Create snapshot for a specified VM 
+ Revert VM to a specified snapshot
+ Delete a specified snapshot
+ List snapshots for a specified VM

+ Support creating of 'VM' snapshots (“preserve the state and data of a VM at a 
specific point in time.“) of both a powered on and powered off VM
+ Able to provide choices for a) if memory state is needed b) if file system 
needs to be quiesced if the VM is powered on
[mice] provide choices for snapshotMemory or not. 
does quiesced mean halt/suspend? the VM will be in snapshoting state before 
snapshot is taken successfully, in this state, VM is not able to accept any 
operations.

+ Remove a snapshot and delete any associated storage
+ Remove all snapshots of a VM
+ Revert to a snapshot
-  Admin can place a limit on the number of stored snapshots per user 
[mice] global limit per VM

- Users can create snapshots manually or by setting up automatic recurring 
snapshot policies** Snapshots can be created on an hourly, daily, weekly, or 
monthly interval. One snapshot policy can be set up per VM
- With each snapshot schedule, users can also specify the number of scheduled 
snapshots to be retained** Older snapshots that exceed the retention limit are 
automatically deleted.
-  This user-defined limit must be equal to or lower than the global limit set 
by the CloudStack administrator.
-  The limit applies only to those snapshots that are taken as part of an 
automatic recurring snapshot policy. Additional manual snapshots can be created 
and retained
