Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 174)

Parameters
Parameter Description
userLabel The name that you want to give to a snapshot virtual disk.
Enclose the snapshot virtual disk name in double
quotation marks (" ").
snapImageID The alphanumeric identifier of a snapshot image that you
want to add to the new snapshot virtual disk. The identifier
of a snapshot image is comprised of two parts:
• The name of the snapshot group.
• An identifier for the snapshot image in the
snapshot group.
The identifier for the snapshot image can be one of these:
• An integer value that is the sequence number of
the snapshot in the snapshot group.
• NEWEST - Use this option when you want to show
the latest snapshot image created in the snapshot
group.
• OLDEST - Use this option when you want to show
the earliest snapshot image created in the
snapshot group.
Enclose the snapshot image name in double quotation
marks (" ").
readOnly This parameter sets the snapshot virtual disk to read-only.
This parameter is actually a Boolean; however, in the
context of this command, the Boolean value is always
TRUE.
NOTE: With the readOnly parameter, snapshot
virtual disks are not created.
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;
