vCenter 7 Lifecycle Manager VM snapshot setting

Hi,

vCenter 7 has Lifecycle Manager which has a setting on how long the snapshot will be kept by vLCM (vCenter > Lifecycle Manager > Settings > Host Remediation > VMs > Default Settings for VM Rollback > Keep Snapshots (= 'forever' in my case.)

From what I understand as well as based on my tests, this setting does not affect other snapshots taken outside the Lifecycle Manager process. For example, snapshots taken manually by users and those taken via API calls will not be removed based on this snapshot retention setting. Can anyone confirm that? Snapshots are part of our workflows so I need to be 100% sure those non-vLCM snapshots are not affected.

 

Thank you.
