Taking a Snapshot
You can take a snapshot of the data state of a selected master volume. The snapshot
data is stored in the snap pool associated with the master volume.
To take a snapshot:
1. Select Manage > Volume Management > Snapshot Services > Take Snapshot.
For each virtual disk, the virtual disk panel shows a status icon; the name, RAID
level, size, number of disk drives, and number of volumes; and utility status, if any.
2. Select a virtual disk.
The selected virtual disk’s volume names, sizes, and types are displayed, and the
amount of free space.
3. Select the master volume to take a snapshot of.
4. (Optional) Change the name for the snapshot.
The default name is
vdisk-name_volume-name_SSnumber. For example,
MyVdisk_V2_SS1.
Name the snap pool in such a way it can be easily identified with the correct virtual
disk. The name is case sensitive and can include 20 characters, but not comma,
quotation mark ("), or backslash.
Note – If the default name exceeds 20 characters it will be truncated.
5. Click Take Snapshot.
When processing is complete, the new snapshot is displayed in the Volume Menu
panel.
