The snapclone copies are presented to the enabled host and a host bus scan is performed to identify

SnapshotHostVolumeGroup ( %volume_group_name%, DEMAND_ALLOCATED, SAME, WAIT )
UNC Host Volume Name (%volume_group_name%). Select or enter the UNC name of the host
volume group to copy.

RAID Level. Select the redundancy level for the copy. Choices are RAID0, RAID1, RAID5,RAID6,
and same. See virtual disks redundancy level.
Wait for Discovery. Select wait or nowait. See Wait/nowait argument.

Comments
• Associated validation commands. ValidateSnapshotHostVolumeGroup.
• 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.
OpenVMS. OpenVMS does not support volume groups. This command is not applicable to
OpenVMS volume sets.
Tru64 UNIX. Replication is not supported when an AdvFS domain spans partitions.
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.
Windows. Windows does not support volume groups.
• See Resource names and UNC formats.
SnapshotHostVolumeGroups
Creates snapshots (point-in-time copies) of the storage volumes (virtual disks) that underlie a host
volume group.
