The snapshot image creation operation completes as soon as the synchronization operation is complete.
To cancel the pending snapshot image creation before the synchronization operation completes, do the
following:
1. From the AMW, select either the snapshot group or consistency group that contains the pending
snapshot image.
2. Do one of the following:
– Copy Services → Snapshot Group → Create Snapshot Image Schedule.
– Copy Services → Consistency Group → Consistency Group Image → Create/Edit Schedule.
The Schedule Settings window is displayed.
3. Do one of the following:
– If you want to use an existing schedule, click Import settings from existing schedule. The Import
Schedule is displayed. Select the schedule you want to import from the Existing schedules table
and then click Import.
– If you want to create a new schedule, define the settings appropriately for the schedule. For more
information on the settings, see the online help topics.
4. If you are creating the schedule for a snapshot group, select Create the First Snapshot Image Now
to create a copy of the associated base virtual disk at the same time the schedule is created.
5. If you are creating the schedule for a consistency group, click Enable snapshot image scheduling to
enable the scheduled snapshot image creation for the group.
6. Click Finish to create the schedule for the snapshot group or consistency group you selected.
The system performs the following:
– Creates the schedule for the snapshot group or consistency group and updates the Properties
pane for the snapshot group or consistency group.
– If you had selected Create the First Snapshot Image Now, the system takes a copy of the
associated base virtual disk. Each subsequent snapshot image capture depends on the schedule
you created.
