run but any scheduled snapshot operation do not occur.

For more information on scheduling snapshots virtual disks, see the

PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager online help topics and the CLI

Guide.

Creating a Snapshot Virtual Disk Using the

Simple Path

You can choose the simple path to create a snapshot virtual disk if the disk

group of the source virtual disk has the required amount of free space. A

snapshot repository virtual disk requires a minimum 8 MB of free capacity.

The destination of a snapshot repository virtual disk is determined based on

the free capacity available in the disk group.
If 8 MB of free capacity is not available in the disk group of the source virtual

disk, the Create Snapshot Virtual Disks feature defaults to the advanced path.

For more information, see "Creating a Snapshot Virtual Disk Using the

Advanced Path" on page 156.
In the advanced path option, you can choose to place the snapshot repository

virtual disk in another disk group or you can use unconfigured capacity on the

storage array to create a new disk group.
