Comments
• Associated validation commands. ValidateHostVolume, ValidateSnapshotHostVolume.
• Agent and license prerequisites. Requires a host agent. Requires a local replication license
for the storage system on which the underlying storage volume (presented source) is located.
• Command result value. List of snapshot storage volume names (UNC). For a complete list, see
Command result values.
• OS specifics. Yes. See examples.
Tru64 UNIX. When this command is used with AdvFS volumes that have heavy I/O, HP
recommends briefly suspending the I/O before the replication step. See Suspending I/O
before replicating AdvFS volumes.
• Some storage volumes that underlie a host volume cannot be copied using snapshot replication.
See the HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager User Guide for snapshot guidelines.
• See Resource names and UNC formats.
SnapshotHostVolumeGroup
Creates snapshots (point-in-time copies) of the storage volumes (virtual disks) that underlie a host
volume group.
