• Associated validation commands. ValidateHostVolume,
• Agent and license prerequisites. Requires a host agent. Requires a local replication license for the
storage system on which the underlying storage volume (presented source) is located.
• Command result value. List of snapshot storage volume names (UNC). For a complete list, see

• OS specifics. Yes. See examples above.
Tru64 UNIX. When this command is used with AdvFS volumes that have heavy I/O, HP
recommends briefly suspending the I/O before the replication step.
• Some storage volumes that underlie a host volume cannot be copied using snapshot replication.
• See resource names and UNC

SnapshotHostVolumeGroup

Creates snapshots (point-in-time copies) of the storage volumes (virtual disks) that underlie a host volume
group.
The snapclone copies are presented to the enabled host and a host bus scan is performed to identify
the presented storage.

When initially inserted into a job, the command syntax and default arguments are:
SnapshotHostVolumeGroup ( %volume_group_name%, DEMAND_ALLOCATED, SAME, WAIT )
