create snapshots Description Creates a snapshot of each specified source volume. The source volume can be a standard volume or a master volume. The first time a snapshot is created of a standard volume, the volume is converted to a master volume and a snap pool is created. The snap pool's size is either 20% of the volume size or 5.37 GB, whichever is larger. The recommended minimum size for a snap pool is 50 GB. Before creating or scheduling snapshots, verify that the vdisk has enough free space to contain the snap pool. Syntax create snapshots volumes volumes [master-volumes master-volumes] snap-names Parameters volumes volumes A comma-separated list of up to 16 standard or master volumes of which to create snapshots. A standard volume is converted to a master volume before a snapshot is created. For volume syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20). master-volumes master-volumes Deprecated; use the volumes parameter. snap-names A comma-separated list of names for the resulting snapshots. 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.
