Creating and Managing Collections

Collections are related sets of mount points from which you create Smart Copies. ASMCLI provides several commands for creating and

managing collections:

• Creating a Collection

• Listing Collections

• Updating a Collection

• Deleting a Collection

Creating a Collection

Use the asmcli create collection command to create a collection by providing a name and list of one or more mount points. For

information about collections, see About Collections.
