  vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.create <VM_ID> "SnapshotName" "Snapshot Description" true true
  

  – Name – Name for the snapshot.
  – Description – Description of the snapshot.
  – Snapshot the virtual machine’s memory – All the memory in active use on the virtual machine is written to a memory dump file (vmsn file) that is included in the snapshot.
  – Quiesce guest file system (Needs VMware Tools installed) – The quiescing process tells the operating system to write transactions out of the memory buffers and in-memory cache to the disk so that the virtual machine can have a consistent state that can be recovered from.
