CreateVirtualSystemSnapshot method of the Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService class

Creates a snapshot of a virtual computer system that is in the "Enabled", "Disabled", or "Suspended" state. The result of the snapshot is a new instance of Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData representing the settings for the virtual computer system at the time that the snapshot is taken. In addition, a new instance of each CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData object will also be created to represent the settings for the devices in the virtual system at the time that the snapshot is taken.

Syntax

uint32 CreateVirtualSystemSnapshot(
  [in]  CIM_ComputerSystem           REF SourceSystem,
  [out] CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData REF SnapshotSettingData,
  [out] CIM_ConcreteJob              REF Job
);

Parameters

SourceSystem [in]

Type: CIM_ComputerSystem

A reference to the virtual computer system to be snapshotted.

SnapshotSettingData [out]

Type: CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData

The CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData instance that was created to represent the snapshot.

Job [out]

Type: CIM_ConcreteJob

An optional reference that is returned if the operation is executed asynchronously. If present, the returned reference to an instance of CIM_ConcreteJob can be used to monitor progress and to obtain the result of the method.

Return value

Type: uint32

If this method is executed synchronously, it returns 0 if it succeeds. If this method is executed asynchronously, it returns 4096 and the Job output parameter can be used to track the progress of the asynchronous operation. Any other return value indicates an error.

Completed with No Error (0)

Method Parameters Checked - Job Started (4096)

Failed (32768)

Access Denied (32769)

Not Supported (32770)

Status is unknown (32771)
