HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform Manager Command Line Interface User Guide (5697-0936, May 2011)

Description
Deletes PiT or snapshot. If the LastInstance flag is used, the preceding snapshot or PiT name
is the root name, and the most recently created snapshot or PiT (with a template name) is the subject
of the command.
GetCreationTime command
Syntax
GetCreationTime -Template FullNameWithSuffix
Description
Returns PiT or snapshot creation time from its full name (name must have been created using the
CLI with the template flag). The returned time string is according to the local time zone settings and
has the form Wed Jan 02 02:03:55 1980. A 24–hour clock is used.
NOTE: When a PiT is created using the Template argument, the CLI embeds the time in the
created name. The time is set from the CLI and the GetCreationTime command gets this encrypted
time from the PiT name.

Description
Gets snapshot or PiT data on status, source PiT/snapshot, name of PiT defined on this PiT/snapshot
