Dell PowerVault MD3420 - Manual (Page 183)

Notes
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#) for
the names. Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.
The identifier of a snapshot image has two parts separated by a colon (:):
• The name of the snapshot group.
• The identifier of the snapshot image.
For example, if you want to create a read-only virtual disk named engData1 using the most recent
snapshot image in a snapshot group that has the name snapGroup1, you would use this command:
create snapVirtualDisk userLabel="engData1" snapImageID="snapGroup1:newest"
readOnly;
