CommandView EVA software must be installed on your Management
Appliance. Be sure that your versions of SSSU and CommandView EVA
are consistent. The SSSU utility must be renamed to %Program
Files%\Hewlett-Packard\SANworks \Element Manager for
StorageWorks HSV\Bridge\sssu.exe.
Engenio Storage Arrays
To take hardware snapshots on Engenio storage arrays, a supported
version of SANtricity Storage Manager client software must be installed
on all servers in the cluster. Also, a supported version of firmware must
be installed on your storage array controllers. To locate this software and
firmware, contact your Engenio representative.
Create a Snapshot or Snapclone
A snapshot is a space-efficient reflection of a source filesystem at a
particular point in time and is intended to be temporary. Snapshots can be
both readable and writable. A cluster can include multiple snapshots of
the same filesystem taken at different times.
A snapclone is similar to a snapshot, except that it completely copies the
source filesystem data at a particular point in time. Snapclones are
supported only on HP arrays.
To create a snapshot or snapclone, select the filesystem on the
Management Console, right-click, and select Create Snapshot (or select
Edit > Filesystem > Create Snapshot). You will then see a dialog asking for
information specific to your snapshot method.
