Dell PowerVault - Create Snapshot (Legacy) Virtual Disk

Create Snapshot (Legacy) Virtual Disk
Description
This command creates a snapshot virtual disk. When you use this command, you can define the snapshot
virtual disk in one of three ways:
• User-defined physical disks
• User-defined disk group
• User-defined number of physical disks for the snapshot virtual disk
If you choose to define a number of physical disks, the RAID controller module firmware chooses which
physical disks to use for the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk.
Syntax (User-Defined Physical Disks)
