Enabling and Disabling Snapshot Schedules
A scheduled snapshot operation can be temporarily suspended by disabling
the schedule. When a schedule is disabled, the schedule timer continues to
run but any scheduled snapshot operation do not occur.
Scheduled Snapshot Icons
Scheduled snapshots are displayed in the AMW using the following icons.
For more information on scheduling snapshots virtual disks, see the
PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager online help topics and the CLI
Guide.
Creating a Snapshot Virtual Disk Using the
Simple Path
You can choose the simple path to create a snapshot virtual disk if the disk
group of the source virtual disk has the required amount of free space. A
snapshot repository virtual disk requires a minimum 8 MB of free capacity.
The destination of a snapshot repository virtual disk is determined based on
the free capacity available in the disk group.
If 8 MB of free capacity is not available in the disk group of the source virtual
disk, the Create Snapshot Virtual Disks feature defaults to the advanced path.
For more information, see "Creating a Snapshot Virtual Disk Using the
Advanced Path" on page 152.
In the advanced path option, you can choose to place the snapshot repository
virtual disk in another disk group or you can use unconfigured capacity on the
storage array to create a new disk group.
