Re-create Snapshot

This command starts a fresh copy-on-write operation using an existing snapshot virtual disk.

Syntax

recreate snapshot (virtual disk [virtualDiskName] | virtual disks [virtualDiskName1 ... virtualDiskNamen]) [userLabel="snapshotVolumeName" warningThresholdPercent=percentValue repositoryFullPolicy=(failBaseWrites | failSnapShot)]

Parameters

Parameter Description

virtualDiskName
The name of the specific virtual disk for which you want to start a fresh copy-on-write operation. You can enter more than one virtual disk name. Enclose the virtual disk name in square brackets ([ ]). If the virtual disk name has special characters, you must also enclose the virtual disk name in double quotes (" ").

userLabel
The name of the snapshot virtual disk. Enclose the snapshot virtual disk name in double quotes (" "). If you enter more than one snapshot virtual disk name this command will fail.

warningThresholdPercent
The percentage of repository capacity at which you will receive a warning that the repository is nearing full. Use integer values. For example, a value of 70 means 70 percent. The default value is 50 percent.

repositoryFullPolicy
Defines how you want snapshot processing to continue if the repository is full. You can choose to fail writes to the source virtual disk (failBaseWrites) or fail writes to the snapshot virtual disk (failSnapShot). The default is failSnapShot.

Notes

You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the name. Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.

If warningThresholdPercent or repositoryFullPolicy are not specified, the previously set values are used.
