When using a another tool to create snapshots on our vcenter the requests get queued up among other jobs and i would like to set a priority for the jobs. This is so users can take a quick single snapshot of their VM's before they patch them or install new software.
Is that even possible to set the priority for a job via the same API call?
Example:
I use a tool to schedule a snapshot at a certain time, the tool keeps track of the time and sends a API call to the vCenter to take the snapshot of my VM when i need it to happen.
In mean time I have backup jobs going (Commvault) that is taking snapshots left and right inside my environment and my scheduled snapshot request gets buried and postponed as the commvault snapshot are all queued up.
So I'm looking to set the priority higher on my single request compared to the onslaught of commvault snapshots.
I am unfortunately not well versed in the tool being used or APIs and was relayed this info from the tool admins.
Currently trying to discern the actual call being made.
