The Everpure plugin has the ability to create a new snapshot of only a vVol virtual disk.

  1. From the Virtual Machine Configure tab, navigate to the Everpure - Virtual Volumes pane, select the disk you would like to snapshot and click Create Snapshot.

  2. After clicking the Create Snapshot button, a dialog appears. You can optionally enter a snapshot name, otherwise it will assign the next available numerical name for the snapshot. Click Create.

  3. After the workflow is complete, you can verify the snapshot by either clicking the Import Disk or the Overwrite Disk button and finding the correct disk and expanding its snapshots.
