Create virtual machines's snapshot in Quiesce mode on a given VMFS datastore #245

Closed rahman-lb closed 6 months ago

rahman-lb commented 6 months ago

This PR will enable user to create an application consistent VMFS datastore snapshot. On a given datastore, all running application and guest OS I/O are flushed on the vmdk file before a virtual machines snapshot is created. Ideally this command should be invoked to create virtual machines snaphost so that backed storage system create a consistent snapshot for restore operations.

The changes in this PR are as follows:

Collects VMs on a given datastore
Snapshot is create for each VM in a quiesce mode (no pending writes)
