Re-creating The Snapshot Virtual Disk

To restart a copy-on-write operation, use the recreate snapshot virtualDisk command. This command starts a fresh copy-on-write operation using an existing snapshot virtual disk. When you restart a snapshot virtual disk, the snapshot virtual disk must have either an Optimal or a Disabled state. The following conditions then occur:
  • All copy-on-write data previously on the snapshot repository virtual disk is deleted.
  • Snapshot virtual disk and snapshot repository virtual disk parameters remain the same as the previously disabled snapshot virtual disk and snapshot repository virtual disk. You can also change the userLabel, warningThresholdPercent, and repositoryFullPolicy parameters when you restart the snapshot virtual disk.
  • The original names for the snapshot repository virtual disk are retained.
