Snapshot from virtual machine on a OE 32 VNX

Hi guys,

We're planning on upgrading our VNX arrays to latest OE 32 version in a month or so. When that is done we want to start using vnx snapshot but we need to initiate them from the server side. I have read that this can be done with naviseccli and snapcli, but I wonder if there is drawbacks with anyone of these options (except the one below)?

We run a fully virtulized environment (ESXi) so snapcli doesn't feel like the right way because it communicates with the array over FC/FCoE, right?

I'm I missing something? How do you setup host side snapshot for a virtual machine?

Thanks and regards,

Hampus
