Using the Snapshot Feature 69Creating a Snapshot Virtual Disk by Specifying a Number of PhysicalDisksWith this version of the create snapshotVirtualDisk command, you mustspecify the number of physical disks and the RAID level for the snapshotrepository virtual disk. This version of the create snapshotVirtualDiskcommand creates a new disk group. You must have physical disks in thestorage array that are not assigned to a disk group for this command to work:create snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk="sourceVirtualDiskName" [repositoryRAIDLevel=(0 |1 | 5) repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=numberOfPhysicalDisks physicalDiskType=(SAS |SATA) userLabel="snapshotVirtualDiskName"warningThresholdPercent=percentValuerepositoryPercentOfSource=percentValuerepositoryUserLabel="repositoryName"repositoryFullPolicy=(failSourceWrites |failSnapShot)] [enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE |FALSE)]NOTE: Use one or all optional parameters as needed to define your configuration.It is not necessary to use any optional parameters.The following example is a command in which users specify the number ofphysical disks:client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "createsnapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk=\"Mars_Spirit_4\" repositoryRAIDLevel=5repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=3;"The command in this example creates a new snapshot repository virtual diskthat consists of three physical disks. The three physical disks comprise a newdisk group with a RAID level of 5. This command also takes a snapshot of thesource virtual disk, which starts the copy-on-write operation.The following example is the script file version of the command:create snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk="Mars_Spirit_4" repositoryRAIDLevel=5repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=3;
