CreateSnapcloneGroupEx command

Syntax

CreateSnapcloneGroupEx [UsePreviousTemplateSuffix,] ~

-Group GroupName, -VirtualDisk SourceName, ~

-task TaskName1 _priority 1|2|3 ~

_StoragePool PoolName1 _host HostName1 ~

_presentation RW|OFF, [_thin 0|1], ~

[ -task TaskName2 _priority 1|2|3 ~

_presentation RW|OFF, [_thin 0|1] ,] ~

-timeout 900

Description

Creates a snapclone group using the root names for group and task names. The purpose of this

command is to create a periodic snapclone group where every execution of the group and task

names (the task name is also used as the destination virtual disk name) are unique.

If there is no host to receive permissions for a task, enter a dummy host name with permissions set

to OFF. If UsePreviousTemplateSuffix is specified, the CLI will use the template suffix name

created in the previous execution of the CreateSnapcloneGroupEx command in this CLI session

(if there was no previous execution, a new suffix is created).

NOTE:

• The UsePreviousTemplateSuffix argument must be the first argument in the argument

list.

• If there is no host to receive permissions for a task, enter an empty (only the terminating zero)

host name (but not null) with permissions set to OFF.

• The task name is used as the destination virtual disk name. Ensure that the task name given

in the command is only the prefix of the unique generated name.

• If a failure occurs for any group on the list, the command stops executing (it does not process

the rest of the list).

• When run under HP-UX, the command will run correctly on a virtual disk the first time. If you

run the command again on the same virtual disk, the operation fails as long as the group is

still building. You should increase the timeout value to as long as you anticipate the building

of the group should last.
