Description

userLabel

The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) that
you want to give the new snapshot group. Enclose
the snapshot group identifier in double quotation
marks (" ").

two parts:

• A four-digit numerical identifier that you assign

repositoryFullPolicy

Defines how snapshot image processing continues
if the snapshot image repository virtual disk is full.
You can choose to fail writes to the base virtual
disk (failBaseWrites) or delete (purge) the
snapshot images (purgeSnapImages). The default
action is purgeSnapImages.

rollBackPriority

Determines whether system resources should be
allocated to the rollback operation at the expense
of system performance. A value of high indicates
that the rollback operation is prioritized over all
other host I/O. A value of low indicates that the
rollback operation should be performed with
minimal impact to host I/O. The default value is
medium.
