Remove the drive letter(s) of the source and (if mounted) snapshot virtual
disk in Windows or unmount the virtual drive(s) in Linux to help
guarantee a stable copy of the drive for the Snapshot. If this is not done,
the snapshot operation reports that it has completed successfully, but the
snapshot data is not updated properly.
4
Follow any additional instructions for your operating system. Failure to
follow these additional instructions can create unusable snapshot virtual
disks.
NOTE:
If your operating system requires additional instructions, you can find
those instructions in your operating system documentation.
After your server has been prepared, see "Re-creating the Snapshot Virtual
Disk" on page 77 to re-create the snapshot virtual disk.
Re-creating a Snapshot Virtual Disk
After first preparing the host server(s) as specified in the preceding procedure,
use the following examples to re-create a virtual disk snapshot.
Refer to steps 1 through 4 in the preceding section, "Preparing Host Servers to
Re-create a Snapshot Virtual Disk" on page 77. The following example shows
the command to restart a snapshot virtual disk:
client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "recreate snapshot
virtualDisks [\"Mars_Spirit_4-2\" \"Mars_Spirit_4-
3\"];"
Refer to steps 1 through 4 in the preceding section, "Preparing Host Servers to
Re-create a Snapshot Virtual Disk" on page 77. The following example is the
script file version of the command:
recreate snapshot virtualDisks ["Mars_Spirit_4-2"
"Mars_Spirit_4-3"];
If you do not intend to use a snapshot virtual disk again, you can delete the
snapshot virtual disk using the
delete virtualDisk
command. When you
delete a snapshot virtual disk, the associated snapshot repository virtual disk
is also deleted.
