Dear All,
We currently need to find a way to delete old snapshots of the VMs. I understand this is possible in many ways but it has been made complicated by various conditions which needs to be applied while deleting these snapshots. Our preferred option is to use the Orchestrator for this functionality.
I am very much new to this and If I have time, I can learn to create custom workflows but since the time is a constraint for me, I was hoping I could get some help here.
So here's our requirement,
Requirement:
- Workflow to delete snapshots.
Conditions:
- Delete only snapshots which are older than 21 days.
- Delete all n+3 snapshots of a VM (For example, we are only allowing 3 snapshots for a VM. If there are more, we will need to delete the oldest of them, keeping only the 3 most recent snapshots)
- This rule should only apply to a folder in the vCenter and not to all VMs.
- Don't delete snapshots if they contain a specific word. (For example, ignore snapshots taken by Networker or Veeam)
Thanks in advance!
