We have created a STAF service which handles all of our VM VMWare
interactions. We interact with the Virtual Machines via the VMWare Virtual
Infrastructure which provides a Java and a Perl API. This gives us the
ability to create/revert and list snapshots associated with a specific VM.
Additionally we have added the ability to boot, shutdown and force a
reboot of a VM. If you are interacting with your virtual machines via the
VMWare Virtual Infrastructure you should easily be able to create a simple
service.

STAF/STAX itself does not provide the capability to take a snapshot of a
VM or restore a snapshot. But you could use the STAF PROCESS service to
submit a START request to a machine to run a command for an application
that takes a snapshot of a VM or restores a snapshot of a VM.

[staf-users] Can STAX/STAF handle VM
Currently I have a stax job which can push application and test cases on a
number of VM’s and then install the application and run the test cases
against the application on different Virtual Machines(VM). I would like to
know – can staf/stax take snapshot of a vm before starting anything on it
and then revert back to the snapshot once everything Is done. Looks like a
good to have feature in my application.
Any help here will be really appreciated.
