研究方向
Examine existing pyVmomi samples for snapshot and VMDK operations. Look at the pyVmomi documentation for methods related to VirtualMachine, snapshots, and VirtualDisk. The sample should implement a function that takes a VM UUID, finds the VM, retrieves its snapshots (e.g., via VirtualMachine.snapshot), extracts the VMDK backing from the snapshot's virtual disks, and then clones or copies the VMDK file to a new location. Consider using the VirtualDiskManager for disk copy operations. Also check if there are any existing samples in the repo that handle similar tasks for reference.
