Hello All,

I am using vmware_guest_snapshot: module to take snapshot of VMS , I observed that snapshot Process is very fast and snapshot size is very less …

if I login to vmware console & take snapshot it will take 11 min and size of that snap is around 800 MB . on other side ansible play book take snapshot within no time and snapshot size is 40 KB only …

let me know if this is normal ? or do I need to change something from my side .

Thanks

Hello

Until ansible version 2.4, you could only take a snapshot without quiescing and without memory dump.

By default, when you take a snapshot though vSphere client, the memory dump option is activated.

I guess this is why you have a time difference and a size difference.
