Export Snapshot - HP P2000 G3 Cli Reference Manual

export snapshot

Description Exports a replication snapshot on the local system to a new standard snapshot. The standard
snapshot will reside in the same snap pool, take a snapshot license, and be independent of the
replication snapshot. The standard snapshot can used like any other standard snapshot, and
changes to it will not affect the replication snapshot.
The standard snapshot is subject to the snap pool's deletion policies. If the snap pool reaches its
critical threshold, the snapshot may be deleted, even if it is mapped. If you want to preserve the
snapshot's data, you can create a standard volume from the snapshot; see the
command.
The export command will not succeed if the replication snapshot is on a remote system or if the
resulting snapshot would exceed license limits.
Syntax
export snapshot
name standard-snapshot
[set replication-set]
replication-snapshot
Parameters name standard-snapshot
A name for the resulting snapshot.
set replication-set
Optional. Name or serial number of the replication set.
replication-snapshot
Name or serial number of the replication snapshot to export. If the name is not unique across
replication sets, specify the set parameter.
Example Export local replication snapshot RepSnap1 to standard snapshot Snap1:
# export snapshot name Snap1 RepSnap1
Info: The exported snapshot will reside in the snap pool. If the snap pool
reaches its critical threshold, the snapshot may be deleted, even if it is
mapped. To preserve the exported snapshot's data, create a volume copy of the
exported snapshot.
Info: The snapshot has been exported. (Snap1)
Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-21 12:10:32)
