Setup guide

If any one of the "backup", "restore", "create", or "deploy" subcommands is executed, the target server is automatically placed into
maintenance mode until processing completes. Once complete, the server is set back to its original mode.
Note
- The number of cloning image versions that can be kept for a given cloning image (identified by its name attribute) is limited.
Using the create subcommand to collect a new cloning image when the limit has already been reached will fail and display an error.
In such a case, use the delete subcommand to delete one of the existing versions before collecting a new version of the cloning image.
Existing versions can be checked using the list subcommand.
By default, this limit is set to 3 versions per cloning image.
For details on changing the maximum number of cloning image versions, refer to "3.1.4 Changing the Maximum Number of Cloning
Image Versions" of the "User's Guide VE".
- This command is not available if ServerView Deployment Manager is used on the admin LAN. For more details, please refer to
"Appendix F Co-Existence with ServerView Deployment Manager" of the "Setup Guide VE".
