In this example one powered of VM is reverted (rolled back) to a specific array protection group snapshot.

  1. Ensure that the VM is powered off. The VM PiT Revert can only be executed against a VM that is powered off
  2. Right Click on the Powered Off VM - Navigate to the Pure Storage option - Select Revert to Snapshot

  3. The list of array protection group snapshots will be listed out as the sources to revert to

    1. The sources are determined by the array snapshots that contain all of the objects for the current configuration of the VM

      On the array we see that there are three protection group snapshots and those line up for the 3 options to revert the VM to

  4. Click Next after selecting the PiT to revert to and then Finish

  5. Now the VM has been rolled back to that specific PiT, power on the VM and confirm that it is in the desired state

    The audit log will show the specific workflow that was executed to revert the VM as well
