Description
snapGroup or snapGroups
The name of the snapshot group that will contain
the snapshot image. Enclose the name of the
snapshot group in double quotation marks (" ").
If you enter more than one snapshot group name,
the snapshot image. Enclose the name of the
snapshot group in double quotation marks (" ").
If you enter more than one snapshot group name,
enclose each of the snapshot group names in
double quotation marks (" "). Enclose all of the
snapshot group names in parentheses.

A snapshot image is a logical point-in-time image of the contents of an associated base virtual disk. The
snapshot image is created instantly and records the state of the base virtual disk at that moment. Every
snapshot image is created in the context of exactly one snapshot group. A snapshot group is a sequence
of snapshot images of the associated base virtual disk. A snapshot group has one repository virtual disk
used to save all of the data from the snapshot images. The snapshot images in a snapshot group have a
specific order. The specific order of the snapshot images enables you to manage the snapshot images,
such as restoring a specific snapshot image to the base virtual disk or deleting the snapshot images that
you no longer need.

Create Snapshot (Legacy) Virtual Disk
Description
This command creates a snapshot virtual disk. When you use this command, you can define the snapshot
virtual disk in one of three ways:
virtual disk in one of three ways:
• User-defined physical disks
• User-defined disk group
• User-defined number of physical disks for the snapshot virtual disk
• User-defined disk group
• User-defined number of physical disks for the snapshot virtual disk
If you choose to define a number of physical disks, the RAID controller module firmware chooses which
physical disks to use for the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk.
physical disks to use for the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk.
