Experiment one verifies that VMware changes the parent snapshot or the underlying disk when the snapshot is deleted

I don't know, I didn't see it. The official VMware document is not clear, where the red line is painted "Delete use delete option to remove a single parent or child snapshot from the snapshot tree. Delete writes the disk changes between the snapshot and the previous incremental disk state to the parent snapshot . "Indicates that deleting a child snapshot should be done to modify the parent snapshot, in order to be more specific about this problem, it is necessary to verify.

Experimental purpose: Verify that VMware changes the parent snapshot or the underlying disk when the snapshot is deleted

Experimental methods:

1. Build a Windows 7 virtual machine and play tools.

2. Create a new file "A.txt" on the desktop

3. Turn off the virtual machine, make a snapshot, fill in the description where "Grandpa"

4. Repeat 2 or 32 steps until you have a snapshot of "father", "son" that contains "B.txt", "C.txt" two files, and now generate a dependent "grandpa-father-grandson" snapshot tree

5. Add a "d.txt" file, keep the boot, delete "Son" snapshot, see the virtual machine desktop files left

6. Revert to "Father" snapshot to see the remaining files on the virtual machine desktop

guess: If deleting a son snapshot will cause the parent snapshot to be changed, the 6th step after the virtual machine desktop should be left "a.txt", "B.txt", "D.txt" three files

Experimental results: pending Verification
