HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Job Command Reference (T3680-96090, October 2012)

SnapshotHostVolumeToContainersInManagedSet
Creates preallocated snapshots (point-in-time copies) of the storage volumes (virtual disks) that
underlie a host volume, by using containers in a managed set. The snapshot copies are presented
to the enabled host and a host bus scan is performed to identify the presented storage.
Syntax and arguments
When initially inserted into a job, the command syntax and default arguments are:
SnapshotHostVolumeToContainersInManagedSet ( %hostvol_unc_name%, %managed_set_of_containers%,
DEMAND_ALLOCATED, NOWAIT )
UNC Host Volume Name (%hostvol_unc_name%). Select or enter the UNC name of the host volume
to be copied.
Managed Set Name (%managed_set_of_containers%). Select or enter the name of the managed
set in which the virtual disk containers are members.
Wait Flag. Select WAIT or NOWAIT. See Wait/nowait argument.
Examples
Host volume mount points or device names can be used.

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.
