Dell PowerVault MD 32XX/36XX Series Storage Arrays CLI Guide

The set (snapshot) virtualDisk command enables you to change the property settings for a snapshot virtual disk. Using this command, you can change the following parameters:

• Name of the snapshot virtual disk
• Warning threshold percent
• Repository full policy

The following example shows the command to change the name of a snapshot virtual disk:

client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "set virtualDisk
                                    [\"Mars_Spirit_4-1\"] userLabel=\"Mars_Odyssey_3-2\";"
                                 

The following example is the script file version of the command:

set virtualDisk ["Mars_Spirit_4-1"] userLabel=
                                    "Mars_Odyssey_3-2";
                                 

When you change the warning threshold percent and repository full policy, you can apply the changes to one or several snapshot virtual disks. The following example uses the set (snapshot) virtualDisk command to change these properties on more than one snapshot virtual disk:

client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "set virtualDisks
                                    [\"Mars_Spirit_4-1\" \"Mars_Spirit_4-2\"
                                    \"Mars_Spirit_4-3\"] warningThresholdPercent=50
                                    repositoryFullPolicy=failSourceWrites;"
                                 

The following example is the script file version of the command:

set virtualDisks ["Mars_Spirit_4-1"
                                    "Mars_Spirit_4-2" "Mars_Spirit_4-3"]
                                    warningThresholdPercent=50 repositoryFullPolicy=
                                    failSourceWrites;
