Re-create Snapshot
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 re-
create multiple virtual disks.
NOTE:
Refer to "Preparing Host Servers to Re-create a Snapshot Virtual Disk" on
page 75.
NOTICE:
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 will help to guarantee a stable copy of the
drive for the Snapshot.
