[DISCUSS_FS} Volume snapshot feature for Vmware

Hi,

I am looking at the FS: Volume snapshot for Vmware (under 4.2):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Volume+snapshot+enhancements+for+VMware

In the FS, it did not mention if this feature is for ESX 5.0/vCenter 5.0, or ESX 5.1/vCenter 5.1.

I tried, and figured that ESX 5.1 does not work for vCenter 5.0.

For now, I'll plan to work for 5.0 version. Any feedback? Input, thoughts on the version?

Thanks,
-Fang

This feature is an improvement to reduce the amount of data transfer in
the backup process, it is independent of ESX versions
