For example, if you want to show snapshot image 12345 in a snapshot group that has the name snapGroup1, you would use this command: 
show snapImage ["snapGroup1:12345"];
To show the most recent snapshot image in a snapshot group that has the name snapGroup1, you would use this command: 
show snapImage ["snapGroup1:newest"];
To show the snapshot images in several snapshot consistency groups that has the names snapGroup1, snapGroup2, and snapGroup3, you would use this command: 
show snapImages ["snapGroup1:12345 snapGroup2:newest snapGroup3:oldest"];
