It looks like the <snapshotId> argument include in 4.1u2 was lost in 5.0. I enabled SSH and grabbed the help output for "vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.revert" from at the command prompt:
ESXi, 4.1.0, 502767
Usage: snapshot.revert vmid snapshotId suppressPowerOff
ESXi, 5.0.0, 515841
Usage: snapshot.revert vmid suppressPowerOn [snapshotLevel] [snapshotIndex]
I was wondering if anyone knew/heard about the status of this feature. e.g. is it deprecated? is it a regression?
The new paramter to vim-cmd was introduced only in ESXi 4.1u2, not in ESXi 5.0. I believe this will probably be available in a future release since 4.1u2 came out after ESXi 5.0
Thanks for the clarification. It did not occur to me that 4.1u2 was released after 5.0. Seems silly that VMware did not release this feature as a patch to 5.0 simultaneously with 4.1u2.
