Dell PowerVault MD3420 - Manual (Page 236)

Notes
If a value is entered for the repository storage space that is too small for the replication repository virtual
disks, the RAID controller module firmware returns an error message that indicates the amount of space
needed for the replication repository virtual disks. The command does not try to change the replication
repository virtual disk. The command can be re-entered using the value from the error message for the
repository storage space value.
When you assign the physical disks, if you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to TRUE and have
selected more than one physical disk from any one enclosure, the storage array returns an error. If you
set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the storage array performs operations, but the
disk group that you create might not have enclosure loss protection.
When the RAID controller module firmware assigns the physical disks, if you set the
enclosureLossProtect parameter to TRUE, the storage array returns an error if the RAID controller
module firmware cannot provide physical disks that result in the new replication repository virtual disk
having enclosure loss protection. If you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the
storage array performs the operation even if it means that the replication repository virtual disk might not
have enclosure loss protection.
Re-Create Snapshot
Description
This command starts a new copy-on-write operation by using an existing snapshot virtual disk. You can
re-create a single snapshot virtual disk or recreate multiple virtual disks.
CAUTION: Before you create a new point-in-time image of a source virtual disk, stop any data
access (I/O) activity or suspend data transfer to the source virtual disk to ensure that you capture
an accurate point-in-time image of the source virtual disk. Close all applications, including
Windows Internet Explorer, to make sure all I/O activity has stopped.
NOTE: Removing the drive letter of the associated virtual disk in Windows or unmounting the virtual
drive in Linux helps guarantee a stable copy of the drive for the Snapshot.
