14.5. Reverting to a virtual machine snapshot by using the web console

To return a virtual machine (VM) to the state saved in a snapshot, you can use the RHEL web console.

Prerequisites

You have installed the RHEL 10 web console.
For instructions, see Installing and enabling the web console.
The web console VM plugin is installed on your system.
A snapshot of the VM is available, which you have previously created in the web console or by using the command line.
Optional: You have created a snapshot of the current state of the VM. If you revert to a previous snapshot without saving the current state, changes performed on the VM since the last snapshot will be lost.

Procedure

Log in to the RHEL 10 web console.
In the Virtual machines interface of the web console, click the VM whose state you want to revert.
A management overview of the VM opens.
In the Snapshots pane of the management overview, click the Revert button next to the snapshot to which you want to revert.
Wait until the revert operation finishes. Depending on the size of the snapshot and how different it is from the current state, this might take up to several minutes.

Verification

In the Snapshots pane, if a green check symbol now displays on the left side of the selected snapshot, you have successfully reverted to it.
