RemoveVirtualSystemSnapshot method of the Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService class

Removes the specified snapshot from the virtual computer system. Any configuration or runtime state associated with the snapshot will be lost.

Syntax

uint32 RemoveVirtualSystemSnapshot(
  [in]  CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData REF SnapshotSettingData,
  [out] CIM_ConcreteJob              REF Job
);

Parameters

SnapshotSettingData [in]

Type: CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData

A reference to the CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData instance which represents the snapshot to be removed.

Job [out]

Type: CIM_ConcreteJob

An optional reference that is returned if the operation is executed asynchronously. If present, the returned reference to an instance of CIM_ConcreteJob can be used to monitor progress and to obtain the result of the method.

Return value

Type: uint32

If this method is executed synchronously, it returns 0 if it succeeds. If this method is executed asynchronously, it returns 4096 and the Job output parameter can be used to track the progress of the asynchronous operation. Any other return value indicates an error.

Completed with No Error (0)

Method Parameters Checked - Job Started (4096)

Failed (32768)

Access Denied (32769)

Not Supported (32770)

Status is unknown (32771)

Timeout (32772)

Invalid parameter (32773)

System is in use (32774)

Invalid state for this operation (32775)

Incorrect data type (32776)

System is not available (32777)

Out of memory (32778)

Remarks

Access to the Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService class might be restricted by UAC Filtering. For more information, see User Account Control and WMI.

Examples

The following C# sample removes a snapshot from a virtual system. The referenced utilities can be found in Common Utilities for the Virtualization Samples.
