CreateSnapshot from HQ with VMware Server

CreateSnapshot from HQ

Using CreateSnapshot from HQ 3.0.5. would crash the HQ agent. After looking up the method signature and the documentation, It appears that the arguments to CreateSnapshot are necessary in order for this operation to work. In order to successfully take a snapshot you must supply the arguments for the function even though they are not honored on VMware Server 1.x. VMWare's documentation also claims that this function is only supported on ESX, but it worked for me after supplying the arguments.

Here are the arguments one needs to supply:
<Snapshot name> : A name for the snapshot (Not honored on VMware server)
<Snapshot Decription>: A Description of the snapshot (Not honored on VMware server)
<quiesce>: A boolean value of 0 or 1. 0 means take the snapshot immediately, 1 means power the machine down first.
<memory>: A boolean value of 0 or 1. 0 means discard the memory, causing the machine to be shutdown first before the snapshot. 1 means dump the memory as part of the snapshot.

I used double quotes for the strings, things worked.
