Schedule snapshots tasks (questions)

Question

Hi there, I'd like to do some questions about Snapview/Snapshots. I've AX4-5F and CX4 with ESXservers in both sides, and i want to make snapshots of certain LUN's periodically, 3 times per day. Ex: 10:00 – 16:00 – 23:00 and every day overwrite them with new snapshots. How can i perform these tasks?? It's possible to do this?? I want to do this for disaster purposes in VM’s. The idea is, if there is some crash in VM, to mount the snapshot and recover the VM with RPO 6h

There are a few documents on Powerlink that will help you with this:

EMC SnapView CLI Reference

CLARiiON SnapView Sessions and Snapshots Knowledgebook

They are found in these locations:

Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Software ~ S ~ Documentation > SnapView > General Reference

Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Software ~ S ~ Documentation > SnapView > White Papers

Create your commands in a batch script and schedule it. You can use variables in the script to give unique names and timestamps to the snapshots.
