We have given our users privilege to take snapshots. But now it is uncontrollable and people started taking meaningless snapshots and never deleting it.
Due to this we are facing performance issue, Disk space overloaded issue and etc.
I would like to prevent users from taking snapshots beyond certain limit. For example. Users may not be allowed to take more than 3 snapshots .
How to achieve this? ( We are using ESXi 4 and ESXi 4.1 and VMware Vsphere )
If it can't be prevented , atleast is there a mechanism to alert me when user creating more than 3 snapshots?
