Create Snapshot (Legacy) Virtual Disk
Description
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 (legacy) virtual disk.
Syntax (User-Defined Physical Disks)
create snapshotVirtualDisk baseVirtualDisk="baseVirtualDiskName"
[repositoryRAIDLevel=(0 | 1 | 5 | 6)]
[repositoryPhysicalDisks=(enclosureID1,slotID1 ... enclosureIDn,slotIDn)]
[repositoryDiskGroupUserLabel="
repositoryDiskGroupName"]
[enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)]
[freeCapacityArea=
freeCapacityIndexNumber]
[userLabel="
snapshotVirtualDiskName"]
[warningThresholdPercent=percentValue]
[repositoryPercentOfBase=percentValue]
[repositoryUserLabel="repositoryName"]
[repositoryFullPolicy=(failBaseWrites | failSnapshot)]
[enableSchedule=(TRUE | FALSE)]
[schedule=(immediate |
snapshotSchedule)]
Syntax (User-Defined Number Of Physical Disks)
create snapshotVirtualDisk baseVirtualDisk="baseVirtualDiskName"
[repositoryRAIDLevel=(0 | 1 | 5 | 6)]
[repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=numberOfPhysicalDisks ]
[repositoryDiskGroupUserLabel="
repositoryDiskGroupName"]
[physicalDiskMediaType=(HDD | SSD | unknown | allMedia)]
[physicalDiskType=(SAS)]
[enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)]
[userLabel="snapshotVirtualDiskName"]
[warningThresholdPercent=
percentValue]
[repositoryPercentOfBase=percentValue]
[repositoryUserLabel="repositoryName"]
[repositoryFullPolicy=(failBaseWrites | failSnapshot)]
[enableSchedule=(TRUE | FALSE)]
[schedule=(immediate |
snapshotSchedule)]
Syntax (Existing Repository Disk Group)
create snapshotVirtualDisk baseVirtualDisk="baseVirtualDiskName"
[repositoryDiskGroup="repositoryDiskGroupName"]
[repositoryUserLabel="repositoryName"]
[freeCapacityArea=freeCapacityIndexNumber]
[userLabel="snapshotVirtualDiskName"]
[warningThresholdPercent=percentValue]
[repositoryPercentOfBase=percentValue]
[repositoryFullPolicy=(failBaseWrites | failSnapshot)]
