Set Read-Only Snapshot Virtual Disk To A Read/Write Virtual Disk

Description

This command changes a snapshot virtual disk that is a read-only virtual disk to a snapshot virtual disk that is read/write virtual disk. You can also use this command to define the repository for the read/write virtual disk.

Syntax

set snapVirtualDisk ["
                                 snapImageVirtualDiskName"] convertReadOnlyToReadWrite (repositoryVirtualDisk="repos_xxxx" | repositoryFullLimit=
                                 percentValue)

Parameters

Parameter Description
snapVirtual Disk The name of the snapshot virtual disk that you want to change from read-only to read/write. Enclose the snapshot virtual disk identifier in double quotation marks (" ") inside of square brackets ([ ]).
repositoryVirtualDisk The name of the repository virtual disk has the snapshot image. All repository identifiers have this form: repos_xxxx where xxxx represents a four digit numerical value. Enclose the snapshot virtual disk name in double quotation marks (" ").
repositoryFullLimit The percentage of repository virtual disk capacity at which you receive a warning that the snapshot image repository virtual disk is nearing full. Use integer values. For example, a value of 70 means 70 percent. The default value is 75.

Notes

The repository virtual disk name is automatically created by the MD storage management software and the firmware when you create a new snapshot group. You cannot rename the repository virtual disk because renaming the repository virtual disk will break the linkage with the snapshot images.
