<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But there is no way to fetch the snapshot ID of a particular snapshot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">Or <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I cannot use the above snippet of code to delete a snapshot,but the multiple snapshots for a vm can be created with the same description.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So is there a way to create a snapshot with a snapshot name assigned to it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SO that delete,restore opeartions can be performed based on the snapshot name .<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
