Abstract:
For automatically applying update to snapshots of a virtual machine (VM), a cloned virtual machine is created reproducing a state of an existing first snapshot of a virtual machine, a first virtual NIC in the cloned VM is disabled, an update is applied to the cloned VM to which a second virtual NIC has been added, the second virtual NIC is deleted from the cloned VM to which the update has been applied, the first virtual NIC is enabled, and a second snapshot of the cloned VM is generated with the enabled first virtual NIC wherein the second snapshot is associated with the virtual machine.

Claim (Index 11):
A computer program product for applying program updates, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions stored thereon, the program instructions configured to be executed by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:\n creating a cloned virtual machine reproducing a state of an existing snapshot of a virtual machine; disabling a first virtual network interface card (NIC) in the cloned virtual machine; adding a second virtual NIC to the cloned virtual machine; applying an update to the cloned virtual machine having the added second virtual NIC; deleting the second virtual NIC from the updated cloned virtual machine; reenabling the first virtual NIC in the updated cloned virtual machine; and generating a new snapshot of the updated cloned virtual machine and the reenabled first virtual NIC.
