Notes

A consistency group is a logical entity that enables you to manage in batch form all of the snapshot
images that you add to the collection. The consistency group is a collection of snapshot groups that have
mutual consistency requirements or dependencies for their snapshot images. Any snapshot images that
you create and use for this collection must be managed in accordance with the consistency
dependencies.
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#) for
the names. Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.
The snapshot images in a consistency group can be deduced based on the existence of a snapshot image
within a consistency group. All snapshot images that reside within a consistency group share a common
time stamp and sequence number.
An operation on a snapshot image consistency group is treated as a single request, and causes all
pending I/O operations to the associated base virtual disk of each member to be drained and suspended
before creating the snapshot images. If creation of the snapshot images cannot be completed
