Parameter Description
fail writes to the source virtual disk
(failSourceWrites) or fail writes to the snapshot
virtual disk (failSnapShot). The default value is
failSnapShot.
enableSchedule Turns on or off the ability to schedule a snapshot
operation. To turn on snapshot scheduling, set the
parameter to TRUE. To turn off snapshot scheduling, set
the parameter to FALSE. Schedules a snapshot operation
of the following type:
• immediate
• startDate
• scheduleDay
• startTime
• scheduleInterval
• endDate
• noEndDate
• timesPerDay
• timeZone
The following example of the create snapshotVirtualDisk command includes user ‑defined parameters:
client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "create
snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk=
\"Mars_Spirit_4\" repositoryRAIDLevel=5
repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=5 physicalDiskType=
SAS userLabel=\"Mars_Spirit_4_snap1\"
repositoryUserLabel=\"Mars_Spirit_4_rep1\"
warningThresholdPercent=75
repositoryPercentOfSource=40
repositoryFullPolicy=
failSnapShot;"enableSchedule=TRUE schedule=
(immediate | snapshotSchedule)]
The following example is the script file version of the command:
create snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk=
"Mars_Spirit_4" repositoryRAIDLevel=5
repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=5 physicalDiskType=
SAS userLabel="Mars_Spirit_4_snap1"
repositoryUserLabel="Mars_Spirit_4_rep1"
warningThresholdPercent=75
repositoryPercentOfSource=40
repositoryFullPolicy=failSnapShot;
NOTE: In the previous examples, the names for the snapshot virtual disk and repository virtual disk are defined by
the user. If you do not choose to create names for the snapshot virtual disks or the repository virtual disks, the
RAID controller modules provide default names. (See Names Of Snapshot Virtual Disks And Repository Virtual
Disks for an explanation of naming conventions.)
Names Of Snapshot Virtual Disks And Repository Virtual Disks
The names of snapshot virtual disks and repository virtual disks can be any combination of alphanumeric characters,
hyphens, and underscores. The maximum length of the virtual disk names is 30 characters. You must enclose the name
