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

The create snapshotVirtualDisk command provides three methods for defining the physical disks for your snapshot repository virtual disk:

• Define each physical disk for the snapshot repository virtual disk by enclosure ID and slot ID.
• Define a disk group in which the snapshot repository virtual disk resides. Optionally define the capacity of the repository virtual disk.
• Define the number of physical disks, but not specific physical disks, for the repository virtual disk.

When using the create snapshotVirtualDisk command to create a snapshot virtual disk, the standard virtual disk name for the source virtual disk is the minimum information required. When you provide only the standard virtual disk name, the MD storage management software provides default values for the other required property parameters for a snapshot virtual disk.
