replicate snapshot

Description Initiates a replication operation using an existing snapshot as the data source. This command

replicates the specified external standard snapshot.

If the specified snapshot has not already been replicated on the replication volume, each replication

volume in the replication set is requested to replicate the snapshot data. Only snapshot preserved

data is replicated; snapshot modified data is not replicated.

If you instead want to create and replicate a snapshot as a single task, use the replicate volume

command.
