Chapter 11: Manage Hardware Snapshots 132
Snapshots appear on the Management Console beneath the entry for the
filesystem, while snapclones appear as a separate filesystem. Each
snapshot or snapclone is assigned an HP Clustered File System psd or
psv device name. In the following example, the first two filesystem
entries are snapclones. The next entry is a regular filesystem, and is
followed by snapshots of the filesystem.
To create a snapshot from the command line, first run the following
command to determine the available options for the specified volume:
mx snapshot showcreateopt <volume>
Then run the following command to create the snapshot:
mx snapshot create [--terse] [<options>] <volume>
The --terse option causes only the name of the snapshot volume to be
printed on success.
Errors During Snapshot Operations
If the snapshot operation could not be completed, errors will be reported
to the cluster event log. You will need to review these errors and may
need to delete any partial snapshots by using the Management
Appliance.
