By default, all the plexes are reattached, which results in the removal of the

snapshot. If required, the number of plexes to be reattached may be specified as

the value assigned to the nmirror attribute.

Note: The snapshot being reattached must not be open to any application. For

example, any file system configured on the snapshot volume must first be

unmounted.

To reattach a snapshot

◆

Use the following command to reattach an instant snapshot to the specified

original volume, or to a source volume in the snapshot hierarchy above the

snapshot volume:

# vxsnap [-g diskgroup] reattach snapvol source=vol \

[nmirror=number]

For example the following command reattaches 1 plex from the snapshot

volume, snapmyvol, to the volume, myvol:

# vxsnap -g mydg reattach snapmyvol source=myvol nmirror=1

While the reattached plexes are being resynchronized from the data in the

parent volume, they remain in the SNAPTMP state. After resynchronization is

complete, the plexes are placed in the SNAPDONE state.
