Figure 2 Default naming conventions for snapshots and SmartClone volumes

Changing naming conventions

Change the elements that use a default naming convention or change the naming convention itself.

If you use the given defaults, the resulting names look like those in

Table 2 (page 16)

. Notice that

the volume name carries into all the snapshot elements, including SmartClone volumes, which are
created from a snapshot.

generated naming elements that remain will incrementally number a series of snapshots or
SmartClone volumes.
