Subject Re: [staf-users] Can STAX/STAF handle VM Thanks Kelvin. Yes I will be using VMWare infrastructure. It would be great if you can point me to some pointers to get started or some examples. I want to do following – 1) Start a VM 2) Take a Snapshot of the VM 3) Push application and Test on them 4) Run the app and the test 5) Revert back to snapshot 6) Close the VM Many Thanks in advance. -G From: Kevin E Sullivan [mailto:kev...@us...] Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 11:56 PM To: Gurpreet Anand Cc: Sharon Lucas; sta...@li...; sta...@li... Subject: Re: [staf-users] Can STAX/STAF handle VM We have created a STAF service which handles all of our VM VMWare interactions. We interact with the Virtual Machines via the VMWare Virtual Infrastructure which provides a Java and a Perl API. This gives us the ability to create/revert and list snapshots associated with a specific VM. Additionally we have added the ability to boot, shutdown and force a reboot of a VM. If you are interacting with your virtual machines via the VMWare Virtual Infrastructure you should easily be able to create a simple service.

Subject: Re: [staf-users] Can STAX/STAF handle VM STAF/STAX itself does not provide the capability to take a snapshot of a VM or restore a snapshot. But you could use the STAF PROCESS service to submit a START request to a machine to run a command for an application that takes a snapshot of a VM or restores a snapshot of a VM. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon Lucas IBM Austin, lu...@us...

I would like to know – can staf/stax take snapshot of a vm before starting anything on it and then revert back to the snapshot once everything Is done. Looks like a good to have feature in my application. Any help here will be really appreciated. -G DISCLAIMER ========== This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information which is the property of Persistent Systems Ltd.
