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

Description

This command stops a copy-on-write operation.

Syntax

stop snapshot (virtualDisk [
                                 virtualDiskName] | 
                                 virtualDisks [
                                 virtualDiskName1... virtualDiskNameN])
                              

Parameters

Notes

Names can be any combination of alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#). Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.

One technique for naming the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk and the snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk is to add a hyphenated suffix to the original base virtual disk name. The suffix distinguishes between the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk and the snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk. For example, if you have a base virtual disk with a name of Engineering Data, the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk can have a name of Engineering Data-S1, and the snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk can have a name of EngineeringData- R1.

If you do not choose a name for either the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk or the snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk, the MD storage management software creates a default name by using the base virtual disk name. An example of the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk name that the RAID controller modules might create is, if the base virtual disk name is aaa and does not have a snapshot (legacy) virtual disk, the default snapshot (legacy) virtual disk name is aaa-1. If the base virtual disk already has n-1 number of snapshot (legacy) virtual disks, the default name is aaa- n. An example of the snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk name that the RAID controller module might create is, if the base virtual disk name is aaa and does not have a snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk, the default snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk name is aaa- R1 . If the base virtual disk already has n-1 number of snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disks, the default name is aaa-R n.
