Is there a simple way of doing a snapshot on a VM after recovery?

I'm really starting to get into SRM now :slightly_smiling_face:

Is there a way to have a recovery plan do a snapshot of a VM before it powers it on in a recovery plan?

 

Here's the scenario.  We have an app with a primary and secondary node.  They fail back and forth all the time. For recovery, the primary needs to be brought up first otherwise, there could be data loss. There's no way to tell which is primary until you power a node on.  If you power the wrong one first, there's data loss.  I want SRM to do a snapshot before powering them on.  This way, if we go into the app and the wrong node was powered on first, we can just revert to snapshot and power the other node on first.  I know we can just cleanup and run the recovery plan again but, there are a couple of other apps being recovered with the same plan.
