Delete a Product Snapshot

You can use the

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

API to delete a product snapshot created using

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

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 deleting a snapshot of

VMware Aria Automation Config

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

To keep vCenter disk space consumption at a reasonable level, delete snapshots that you no longer need. The following procedure shows how to delete a

VMware Aria Operations

snapshot.

Assign the snapshot ID variable.

snapshotId = '<your_snapshot_ID>'

Delete the snapshot and power on the virtual appliance. To improve performance and minimize storage consumption, consolidate disk files after deletion by setting

"consolidate": true

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

To delete a

VMware Aria Automation Config

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

curl -X DELETE \
  '$url/lcm/lcops/api/environments/$environmentId/products/$productId/snapshot/inventory?tenantId=$tenantId' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AbG9jYWw6VGhpc0lzUGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
     "consolidate": "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 deleted the snapshot.
