Hi All,<br />
<br />
We are using vSphere Client 5.5 and have a question regarding VM snapshots. &nbsp;Upon doing some updates, we took a snapshot in case the updates failed. &nbsp;All turned out ok and now we have this snapshot that we do not need. &nbsp;I'm slightly confused in understanding what we should do with that snapshot. &nbsp;I've attached a picture of where we currently are and we would like to remain in this state. &nbsp;Which option do I chose to ensure that the changes are not reverted back and that our current state remains our primary state. &nbsp;<br />

Hi All,

We are using vSphere Client 5.5 and have a question regarding VM snapshots.  Upon doing some updates, we took a snapshot in case the updates failed.  All turned out ok and now we have this snapshot that we do not need.  I'm slightly confused in understanding what we should do with that snapshot.  I've attached a picture of where we currently are and we would like to remain in this state.  Which option do I chose to ensure that the changes are not reverted back and that our current state remains our primary state.  

Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.  

VMWare Snapshot Question

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
