SOLVED VMware Snapshot Integration

[jlw52761]

Has this feature been removed from TrueNAS? What I'm referring to is in FreeNAS, you could have a snapshot task on a zvol that you use for iSCSI datastore, but then you could have the filer reachout to ESXi or vCenter to snapshot the VMs before snapping the zvol so you have a nice clean snapshot. I do not see this in TrueNAS Scale, and maybe it's not included in Scale and only in Core and Enterprise, not sure. If so, then I have some architectural changes I will need to do to support this.

Good lord I see it now, it's in the dropdown in the upper left in the storage tab. I did a brief search in the docs, I thought anyway, and didn't see it, but thanks for pointing me int he right direction.

We don't remove major features, but we do occasionally hide them in new places in the UI and documentation.
