Dissociating a snapshot volume
The link between a snapshot and its original volume can be permanently broken
so that the snapshot volume becomes an independent volume. Use the following
command to dissociate the snapshot volume, snapshot:
# vxassist snapclear snapshot
Displaying snapshot information
The vxassist snapprintcommand displays the associations between the original
volumes and their respective replicas (snapshot copies):
# vxassist snapprint [volume]
Output from this command is shown in the following examples:
# vxassist -g mydg snapprint v1
V NAME USETYPE LENGTH
SS SNAPOBJ NAME LENGTH %DIRTY
DP NAME VOLUME LENGTH %DIRTY
v v1 fsgen 20480
ss SNAP-v1_snp SNAP-v1 20480 4
dp v1-01 v1 20480 0
dp v1-02 v1 20480 0
v SNAP-v1 fsgen 20480
ss v1_snp v1 20480 0
# vxassist -g mydg snapprint v2
V NAME USETYPE LENGTH
SS SNAPOBJ NAME LENGTH %DIRTY
DP NAME VOLUME LENGTH %DIRTY
v v2 fsgen 20480
ss -- SNAP-v2 20480 0
dp v2-01 v2 20480 0
v SNAP-v2 fsgen 20480
ss -- v2 20480 0
