-timeout 900

Description

Waits for a newly created VSM object to become ready for use. Use this command after creating a
VSM object (of a type that is handled by this command) with a zero timeout (so that the CLI returns
without waiting for the object to be ready for use). If the object is created and ready for use, VSM_OK
is returned.

The following object types are handled, and the associated input names to wait for are:

•

Simple virtual disk: Provide name of the virtual disk.

•

Simple PiT or snapshot: Provide name of PiT or snapshot.

•

VirtualDiskGroup PiT or snapshot: Provide name of the virtual disk group.

•

Async Mirror User PiT: Provide name of PiT.

•

Sync Mirror User PiT: Provide name of PiT.

•

Snapclone virtual disk: Provide name of the snapclone group. (Waits for all the snapclone tasks
to be created.)

•

Migration task to be created: Provide the name of the migration group.

NOTE:

A list of task names is required only if the created object is a snapclone group.

The LastInstance flag may be used with a simple PiT, simple snapshot, mirror user PiT, or sync
mirror PiT (handled like a simple PiT, using the user-provided PiT name as the template name). If the
LastInstance

flag is used, the preceding PiT/snapshot name is the root name, and the most recently

created PiT/snapshot (with a template name) is used.
