An L-Server snapshot can be created with the snapshot subcommand.
rcxadm image snapshot -server resource [-comment comment] [-nowait]
An L-Server snapshot can be deleted with the delete subcommand.
rcxadm image delete -server resource -version version
An L-Server snapshot can be restored with the restore subcommand.
rcxadm image restore -server resource [-version version] [-nowait]
Cloning can be specified with the -type option when using the list command. Detailed information can also be output with the -detail option.
rcxadm image list -type cloning [-name image] [-detail]

rcxadm image list -type snapshot [-server resource] [-detail]
Images registered in the orchestration tree can be moved between resource pools. The destination resource pool name can be specified with the -to option.
rcxadm image move -name image -to pool [-nowait]
Subcommands
Collects a cloning image of the specified L-Server.
Displays the cloning images and snapshot images of the specified L-Server.
In addition to the existing RCVE function, an L-Server snapshot can be deleted with the delete subcommand.
In addition to the existing RCVE function, an L-Server snapshot can be restored with the restore subcommand.
Collects a snapshot of the specified L-Server.
Setting is only possible when the server type is "Virtual".
Images registered in the orchestration tree are moved between resource pools.
Options
Specify the name of the L-Server in resource.
Use this option to return directly to the command prompt without waiting for the operation specified in the subcommand to complete its execution.
Specify the name of the resource pool for storing the cloning image or the name of the destination resource pool.
If omitted, it is assumed that the resource pool with the highest priority from the resource pools with update rights has been specified.
Enter the name of the virtual storage or the library shared folder for storing the collected cloning image.
If omitted, it is assumed that the virtual storage resource containing the L-Server for collecting cloning images has been specified.
[Hyper-V]
It is assumed that the name of the regulated shared library folder on the SCVMM server is specified.
Specify the type of image. If you specify snapshot, a snapshot image is displayed.
Displays the detailed information for the type of image.

Note
If blank spaces are included in comment, enclose the comment character string using double quotes ( " ).
Specify when executing a snapshot, regardless of the status of the L-Server.
In image, enter a name to identify the collected cloning image.
Note
When creating an image, a template is created in the server virtualization software with the following name:
Server Virtualization Software | Name in Server Virtualization Software |
|---|---|
VMware | Cloning_image_name@version_number |
When creating a template in the server virtualization software, do not use a name with the above format.
When creating a template from a VM guest in the server virtualization software, set the system disk of the VM guest as indicated below.
Server Virtualization Software | System Disk |
|---|---|
VMware | Disk with SCSI controller: 0, ID:0 |
Hyper-V | Device, Primary channel (0) |
Make sure the name image specified when creating an image does not conflict with the name of the cloning image for the physical server. For details on the cloning image of the physical server, refer to the information about cloning in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
