vCD 1.5 - Snapshots&Drag nad drop functionality

[Danooo]

Hi,

Does vCD 1.5 supports snapshots? In Lab Manager I could do one snapshot per VM, in vCD I do not see such option

Also if there is a possibility to drag and drop or copy-paste between physical host machine and VM machine that is showed by VMware plugin in the web browser?

Thanks.

Snapshots are not supported by vCloud Director at this time.

I don't have a test system available to confirm, but a colleague of mine believes that copy & paste is supported between the VMRC plugin and the client running it. We don't believe drag and drop support is there yet.

Though snapshots are not supported I have successfully created them within vCenter on a vCD VM and reverted them as well.  I have not created a snapshot of a vCD VM, then clone the vApp within vCD, then trying to revert the origin snapshot and see if they all continue to work.

I've tested the VMRC plugin with a Linux VM and IE8.  I can't copy/paste text into it.  I don't have a Windows VM to test with though.

Copy/paste on Windows through VMRC plugin do not work either.

That is not a VCD issue.  That is a vSphere change as of 4.1:
