<![CDATA[Manual snapshots retention]]>Would be nice to get global setting, how long to keep manual snapshots. Or maybe job rule to create a schedule task.

Maybe it could offer to stock snapshots as "archived"... I don't know for now.

I understand that it could be risky to delete old snapshots, and maybe the responsability of setting the snaspshots retention can be an ACL subject...

There are plenty of avenues of work on this topic, and more generally on the retention of information about objects, tasks, and other actions. It's a real in-depth topic.

Pity the text was put in this way.... The "concern" that it might scare others (did us) is valid as 99% use XO5 today.
So, perhaps you might save on support calls? My 2 cents anyway

Just add /v6 to access XO 6. The "release" is just having XO 6 by default, but it's not like "now it's available". It is already the case.

For XO 6, since it will be very different, you won't have exactly the same way of doing things than XO 5, but yes, it should be better in any way πŸ™‚

at least it needs to be fixed in xo6.

Anything on XO 5 will slow down the number of features available in XO 6.

Also it's just a changing of a string so it should be easy.

But that explains why the message is generic for VM removal (because it's the same that's a VM with snapshot true or false).

I agree this could improved, but I'm not sure this worth the effort vs moving forward on XO 6/XO Lite πŸ€”

delete 7 vms -> delete 7 VM snapshots

I you don't know as it is it scares you. Did me!

And not "all", "selected" sounds better.

Remember: there's no "snapshot" object, it's only a VM with "is a snapshot: true".

Yes, need to change it to snapshots.

I'm not sure to understand the issue. Removing those old snapshots makes you nervous because on the message telling you if you remove it the data associated with it will be remove? Or maybe it's just a phrasing thing? Like all "VM SNAPSHOTS" will be removed instead of VM only?

There's so much things in the pipe, it's possible sometimes they aren't shipped on D-day. But it will be there finally πŸ™‚
