IBM BigFix Lifecycle
Server Automation
Server Automation provides powerful automation. You can use it to sequence automation actions in steps across multiple endpoints.
Virtualization
Virtualization is a software technology that allows multiple operating systems to run on the same host computer at the same time. Additional uses of virtualization include the quick creation of new systems for testing, training, and demonstration. Using virtualized computers saves the cost of hardware, management, and administration of the server infrastructure.
VMware
You can deploy and configure a management extender plug-in for VMware. You can then manage VMware virtual machines from within BigFix the console.
Snapshot management tasks
Reverting a snapshot
Using the Revert Snapshot Task, you can revert to the current snapshot of the VMware virtual machine from the IBM® BigFix console.

Reverting a Snapshot

Using the Revert Snapshot Task, you can revert to the current snapshot of the VMware virtual machine from the IBM® BigFix console.

Before you begin

You must have at least one snapshot of the VMware virtual machine.

This Task does not create a snapshot before it reverts to the original snapshot of a VMware virtual machine.

Complete the following steps to revert a snapshot.

Open the Server Automation domain
From the navigation tree in the Server Automation domain, click Virtualization > Virtual Machine Management > Snapshot Configuration.
From the Snapshot Configuration list, select Revert Snapshot.
In the Take Action dialog box, target the computer of which the snapshot is created and click OK.

When the snapshot is reverted, the Status changes to Completed in the Action: Revert Snapshot window.
