Create Snapshot Virtual Disk

This command creates a snapshot virtual disk. When you use this command, 
you can define the snapshot virtual disk in one of three ways:

•

User-defined physical disks

•

User-defined disk group

•

User-defined number of physical disks for the snapshot virtual disk

If you choose to define a number of physical disks, the RAID controller 
module firmware chooses which physical disks to use for the snapshot virtual 
disk.

 

NOTE: 

Refer to "Preparing Host Servers to Create an Initial Snapshot Virtual Disk" 

on page 65.

 

NOTICE: 

Before you create a new point-in-time image of a source virtual disk, stop 

any data access (I/O) activity or suspend data transfer to the source virtual disk to 
ensure that you capture an accurate point-in-time image of the source virtual disk. 
Close all applications, including Windows

®

 Internet Explorer

®

, to make sure all I/O 

activity has stopped.

 

NOTE: 

Removing the drive letter of the associated virtual disk in Windows or 

unmounting the virtual drive in Linux will help to guarantee a stable copy of the 
drive for the Snapshot.
