CLI Guide

• Create a snapshot of a source volume, which can be a virtual base volume or a virtual snapshot.
• Reset a snapshot. This deletes the data in the snapshot and resets it to the current data in the volume
from which the snapshot was created. The snapshot’s name and other volume characteristics are not
changed.
• Replicate a virtual replication set’s primary volume or volume group to a peer system
CAUTION: Before scheduling a ResetSnapshot task, consider that if the snapshot is
mounted/presented/mapped to a host, the snapshot must be unmounted/unpresented/
unmapped before the reset is performed. Leaving it mounted/presented/mapped can cause
data corruption. You should create a scheduled job on the host to unmount/unpresent/unmap
the snapshot prior to resetting it.
