The identifier for the snapshot image can be one of

these:

of the snapshot in the snapshot group.

show the earliest snapshot image created in the

snapshot group.

disk has the snapshot image. All repository
identifiers have this form: repos_xxxx
where xxxx represents a four digit numerical value.

quotation marks (" ").

you receive a warning that the snapshot repository
virtual disk is nearing full. Use integer values. For
example, a value of 70 means 70 percent. The
default value is 75.
