  • 1.  Limit Number of Snapshots

    Posted Dec 12, 2022 04:22 PM

    Hi all

    Is there a parameter or way to have ESXi 6.7 not allow users to take more than a certain number of snapshots?  How do I prevent users from flooding the environment with snapshots?

    Thanks

    Hi, you can limit the amount of Snapshots per VM. You can add to the VMs .vmx file – set the maximum number of snapshots for a virtual machine by editing the snapshot.maxSnapshots = n variable of the configuration file. Do this in your Template and all new VMs have the limititation.
