To create a Snapshot copy, run the snapdrive snap create command.
The file_spec arguments represent a set of storage entities on one or more storage systems. The Snapshot create operation takes a Snapshot copy of the storage system volume containing those entities and gives it the name specified in the snap_name argument.
This example creates a multivolume Snapshot copy for a Linux host. The Snapshot copy contains the disk group vgmultivol, which include the host volumes lvol1 and lvol2:
# snapdrive snap create -vg vgmultivol -snapname snapmultivol Successfully created snapshot snapmultivol on 2 filer volumes: toaster:/vol/vol1 toaster:/vol/vol2 snapshot snapmultivol contains: disk group vgmultivol containing host volumes lvol1 lvol2
