I know the title is a bit weird, but I was unable to think a better one.
I wasunsuccessful in looking (googling) for creating a non-changeable VMWare image. I am not sure if this is even possible or not? Well the idea is that after VMWare restart I always have the same state.
Does anyone have any idea? Thanx in advance and hope it was not a completely stupid question.
Assuming you mean that when you power off your VM you want it to revert back to a known state and lose the latest changes, then this is possible with VMWare Workstation and I suspect other versions too.
You need to get the VM to the state you want to roll back too, shut it down and take a snapshot of this state.
You can now change the snapshot settings of the VM (VM->Settings->Options->Snapshots I think, but I’m not in front of VMWare at the moment, so may be wrong). Now you can set the VM to “When Powering Off: Revert To Snapshot”. Now, every time the VM is powered down, it should revert to your known “baseline”.
