The following example of the create sourceVolume command includes user ‑defined parameters:
client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "create
snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVolume=
\"Mars_Spirit_4\" repositoryRAIDLevel=5
repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=5 physicalDiskType=
SAS userLabel=\"Mars_Spirit_4_snap1\"
repositoryUserLabel=\"Mars_Spirit_4_rep1\"
warningThresholdPercent=75
repositoryPercentOfSource=40
repositoryFullPolicy=
failSnapShot;"enableSchedule=TRUE schedule=
(immediate | snapshotSchedule)]
The following example is the script file version of the command:
create snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVolume=
"Mars_Spirit_4" repositoryRAIDLevel=5
repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=5 physicalDiskType=
SAS userLabel="Mars_Spirit_4_snap1"
repositoryUserLabel="Mars_Spirit_4_rep1"
