create task
Description
Creates a task that can be scheduled. You can create a task to take a snapshot of a
master volume, to copy a snapshot or a master volume to a new standard volume, or
to reset a snapshot.
Caution –
Before scheduling a reset snapshot task, consider that if the snapshot is
mounted to a host operating system, the snapshot must be unmounted before the
reset is performed; leaving it mounted can cause data corruption. You should create
a scheduled job on the host to unmount the snapshot prior to resetting the snapshot.
