It is not necessary to use any optional parameters. The following example is a command in which software assigns the physical disks: client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "create snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk= \"Mars_Spirit_4\" repositoryDiskGroup=2 freeCapacityArea=2;" The command in this example creates a new snapshot repository virtual disk in disk group 2. The source virtual disk is Mars_Spirit_4. The size of the snapshot repository is 4 GB. This command also takes a snapshot of the source virtual disk, which starts the copy-on-write operation. Define the capacity of a snapshot repository virtual disk as any percentage of the size of the source virtual disk. A value of 20 percent is a good compromise between size and speed. In the previous example, the size of the snapshot repository is set to 4 GB. The underlying assumption is that the source virtual disk size is 20 GB (0.2 x 20 GB = 4 GB). The following example is the script file version of the command: create snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk= "Mars_Spirit_4" repositoryDiskGroup=2 freeCapacityArea=2; 68 Using the Snapshot Feature
