Description Colin Devine 2014-02-18 15:51:04 UTC

Title: Snapshots Sub-Collection

Describe the issue:

The Developer Guide states the following:  "The REST API also provides live snapshot capability, which allows users to take snapshots while a virtual machine is running."

However there is no documentation or example of how to create a live snapshot using the REST API.



Suggestions for improvement:

Include an example of creating a live snapshot using the REST API.
