Parameters
Parameter Description
userLabel
The name that you want to give to a snapshot
virtual disk. Enclose the snapshot virtual disk name
in double quotation marks (" ").
snapImageID
The alphanumeric identifier of a snapshot image
that you want to add to the new snapshot virtual
disk. The identifier of a snapshot image is
comprised of two parts:
• The name of the snapshot group.
• An identifier for the snapshot image in the
snapshot group.
The identifier for the snapshot image can be one of
these:
• An integer value that is the sequence number
of the snapshot in the snapshot group.
• NEWEST - Use this option when you want to
show the latest snapshot image created in the
snapshot group.
• OLDEST - Use this option when you want to
show the earliest snapshot image created in the
snapshot group.
Enclose the snapshot image name in double
quotation marks (" ").
readOnly
This parameter sets the snapshot virtual disk to
read-only. This parameter is actually a Boolean;
however, in the context of this command, the
Boolean value is always TRUE.
NOTE: With the readOnly parameter,
snapshot virtual disks are not created.
Notes
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#) for
the names. Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.
The identifier of a snapshot image has two parts separated by a colon (:):
• The name of the snapshot group.
• The identifier of the snapshot image.
For example, if you want to create a read-only virtual disk named engData1 using the most recent
snapshot image in a snapshot group that has the name snapGroup1, you would use this command:
create snapVirtualDisk userLabel="engData1" snapImageID="snapGroup1:newest"
readOnly;
