66 Using the Snapshot FeatureAfter your server has been prepared, see "Creating the Initial Snapshot VirtualDisk" on page 66.Creating the Initial Snapshot Virtual DiskAfter first preparing the host server(s) as specified in the preceding procedure,use the following examples to make a virtual disk snapshot.The following syntax is the general form of the command to create a snapshotvirtual disk:create snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk="sourceVirtualDiskName" [repositoryRAIDLevel=(0 |1 | 5) (repositoryPhysicalDisks=(enclosureID0,slotID0 ... enclosureIDn,slotIDn)userLabel="snapshotVirtualDiskName"warningThresholdPercent=percentValuerepositoryPercentOfSource=percentValuerepositoryUserLabel="repositoryName"repositoryFullPolicy=(failSourceWrites |failSnapShot)] [enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)]NOTE: Use one or all of the optional parameters as needed to help define yourconfiguration. You do not, however, need to use any optional parameters.Refer to steps 1 through 4 in the preceding section, "Preparing Host Servers toCreate an Initial Snapshot Virtual Disk" on page 65. The following exampleshows a command in which users assign the physical disks:client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "createsnapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk=\"Mars_Spirit_4\" repositoryRAIDLevel=5repositoryPhysicalDisks=(1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5);"The command in this example creates a new snapshot of the source virtualdisk Mars_Spirit_4. The snapshot repository virtual disk consists of fivephysical disks that form a new disk group. The new disk group has a RAIDlevel of 5. This command also takes a snapshot of the source virtual disk,starting the copy-on-write operation.
