ExtractTemplateCmd
After the snapshot is create, in the snapshot directory on SEcondary Storage host, we will see the ovf and the vmdk files.
in dir: ~/Secondary/snapshots/2/13/
For example:
1 root root 68608 Apr 5 16:36 aa44054a-d099-4b9d-8fbf-211217381da0-disk0.vmdk
1 root root 3835 Apr 5 16:36 aa44054a-d099-4b9d-8fbf-211217381da0.ovf
In the previous scheme, we will see one ova file after the create snapshot command completes:
in dir ~Secondary/snapshots/2/7/,
ls:
1 root root 81920 Mar 27 15:18 db92a8e4-079f-4055-84f5-08d33f6f9fef.ova
It will delete the snapshots related ovf, vmdk files for the new scheme. In the old scheme, it delets the ova file.
