Apply a Snapshot Profile to a Server

To add snapshot creation and expiration schedules to all volumes mapped to a server, associate a Snapshot Profile with the server.

1. If you are connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the drop-down list in the left navigation pane of Unisphere Central.
2. From the STORAGE menu, click Profiles.
   The Profiles view is displayed.
3. In the Profiles view, click Snapshot Profiles.
4. Select the profile to use from the Snapshot Profile section.
5. Click Apply to Server.
   The Apply to Server dialog box opens.
6. Select the server to which you want to apply the Snapshot Profile. To select individual servers in a server cluster, expand the cluster and select each server individually.
   NOTE If you apply a Snapshot Profile to a server cluster, the Snapshot Profile is applied only to the volumes that are mapped directly to the server cluster. Volumes that are mapped exclusively to servers that belong to the cluster are not affected.
7. (Optional) To remove existing Snapshot Profiles from the selected server, select Replace existing Snapshot Profiles.
8. Click OK.
