Names the specific snapshot virtual disk or snapshot
virtual disks for which you want to start a rollback

Start Snapshot Image Rollback
Description
This command starts a rollback operation for a set of snapshot images. The content of the base virtual disk changes
immediately to match the point-in-time content of the selected snapshot image virtual disk. The base virtual disk
immediately becomes available for read/write requests after the rollback operation has successfully completed. To stop
a snapshot image rollback operation, use the stop rollback snapImage command.
The repository virtual disk that is associated with the snapshot image continues to track any new changes between the
base virtual disk and the snapshot image virtual disk that occur after the rollback operation is completed.
NOTE: You cannot use this command for snapshot images involved in online virtual disk copy.
