1. First, you can still take your VMware snapshot on VMs running in Cisco HyperFlex, but you do not have the benefits of the HyperFlex snapshots such as:
a. Avoids errors with long chains of snapshots
b. Does not have errors with deletion of snapshots
c. Also saves in I/O penalties and disk consolidation time.
2. Cisco HyperFlex snapshots are similar to VMware snapshots in how you create them. When you go through the vSphere GUI, the only difference is selecting the HyperFlex API plugin instead of the VMware snapshot selection.
3. Log into your vSphere system and navigate to the VM you wish to create your snapshot with.
4. Once you are on your VM you wish to snapshot, right click on the VM and then hover over the Cisco HyperFlex Platform section, and then click Snapshot Now.
5. Type in the name of your snapshot and a brief description of it (can describe the state, or status of the VM, or whatever you wish to have in here). Once you’re done, click on OK.
6. You should not select the Snapshot tab in vSphere for your selected VM and then verify the snapshot has been created.
