Revert to a Product Snapshot

You can use the

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

API to revert your

VMware Aria Suite

product to a snapshot created using

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

. Reverting to a snapshot restores the product to a former state.

Verify that all general prerequisites have been satisfied and that you have assigned your environment ID and product ID. See the prerequisites for Performing Day 2 operations usingVMware Aria Suite Lifecycle APIs.

Verify that you have the ID of the snapshot that you want to revert to. See Create a Product Snapshot.

If you are reverting to a snapshot of

VMware Aria Automation Config

, verify that the tenant ID variable is assigned. See Creating and Managing Product Snapshots.

For example, if a product upgrade fails, you can revert to a snapshot of the product that you created before attempting the upgrade.

The following procedure shows how to revert to a snapshot for

VMware Aria Operations

Assign the snapshot ID variable.

snapshotId = '<your_snapshot_ID>'

Revert

VMware Aria Operations

to your_snapshot_ID. For a snapshot that was taken without memory, set

"powerOn": true

to power on the virtual appliance and restore the disk to its initial state.

curl -X POST \
  '$url/lcm/lcops/api/environments/$environmentId/products/$productId/snapshot/inventory/revert' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AbG9jYWw6VGhpc0lzUGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
     "powerOn": true,
     "productSnapshotId": "'$snapshotId'"
}' | jq "."

To revert to a snapshot of

VMware Aria Automation Config

, include the tenant ID as a query parameter in your request, for example:

curl -X POST \
  '$url/lcm/lcops/api/environments/$environmentId/products/$productId/snapshot/inventory/revert?tenantId=$tenantId' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AbG9jYWw6VGhpc0lzUGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
     "powerOn": "true",
     "productSnapshotId": "'$snapshotId'"
}' | jq "."

The request triggers the API. The response shows the request ID.

{
    "requestId":"a3f77209-0005-44b3-9eb5-ac1a1ba19394"
}

Assign the variable for the

requestId

requestId = "a3f77209-0005-44b3-9eb5-ac1a1ba19394"

Use the

requestId

to track your request.

curl -X GET '$url /lcm/request/api/v2/requests/$requestId' -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AbG9jYWw6VGhpc0lzUGFzc3dvcmQ=' | jq "."

After the request succeeds,

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

has restored

VMware Aria Operations

to the state and configuration defined in the snapshot.
