replicate snapshot Description Initiates a replication operation using an existing snapshot as the data source. This command replicates the specified external standard snapshot. If the specified snapshot has not already been replicated on the replication volume, each replication volume in the replication set is requested to replicate the snapshot data. Only snapshot preserved data is replicated; snapshot modified data is not replicated. If you instead want to create and replicate a snapshot as a single task, use the replicate volume command. Syntax replicate snapshot [name replication-snapshot] [set replication-set] external-snapshot Parameters name replication-snapshot Optional. A name for the resulting replication snapshot. A snapshot name is case sensitive; can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except a left angle bracket, backslash, comma, or double quote; and can have a maximum of 32 bytes. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes. set replication-set Optional. The name or serial number of the replication set. external-snapshot The name or serial number of the external snapshot to use as the data source. If the name is not unique across replication sets, specify the set parameter. Example Replicate external snapshot Snap1 and name the resulting replication snapshot RepSnap1: # replicate snapshot name RepSnap1 Snap1 Info: The replication has started. (RepSnap1) Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-21 12:49:39) See also • show replication-sets • show snapshots replicate snapshot 113
