Figure 20. Create Virtual Disk Wizard Creating a Snapshot Virtual Disk If the premium feature for Snapshots has been enabled on the storage array, the following options will be available under the Commands box: Create Snapshot, Disable Snapshot, and Recreate Snapshot. These commands are available only if the Snapshot premium feature is enabled on the storage array. These commands let you create a new snapshot of a source virtual disk, disable the snapshot for the source virtual disk, and re-create a disabled snapshot, respectively. To create a snapshot, highlight the source virtual disk that will be used, and click the Create Snapshot link to launch the Snapshot wizard. See Figure 21. On the wizard, you can change the default name of the snapshot, the default name of the repository virtual disk, the percentage of the source virtual disk to use for the repository, and the disk group on which to place the repository. After the size of the snapshot exceeds the percentage size of the source virtual disk, the snapshot fails and is no longer available for use until it is re-established with the Recreate Snapshot link.
