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.

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.
• This command cannot be used with some older versions of controller software. For information
on controller version feature support, see the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility
