repository virtual disk name that the RAID controller module might create is, if the base virtual disk name is aaa and does not have a snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk, the default snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk name is aaa – R1. If the base virtual disk already has n – 1 number of snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disks, the default name is aaa – Rn.

If you do not specify the unconfigured space or free space, the snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk is placed in the same disk group as the base virtual disk. If the disk group where the base virtual disk resides does not have enough space, this command fails.

Enclosure Loss Protection

When you assign the physical disks, if you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to TRUE and have selected more than one physical disk from any one enclosure, the storage array returns an error. If you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the storage array performs operations, but the disk group that you create might not have enclosure loss protection.

When the RAID controller module firmware assigns the physical disks, if you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to TRUE, the storage array returns an error if the RAID controller module firmware cannot provide physical disks that result in the new disk group having enclosure loss protection. If you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the storage array performs the operation even if it means the disk group might not have enclosure loss protection.

Scheduling Snapshots (Legacy)

You can use the enableSchedule and the schedule parameters to schedule automatic snapshots (legacy). Automatic snapshots (legacy) can be scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly (by day or by date). The enableSchedule parameter turns on or off the ability to schedule snapshots (legacy). When you enable scheduling, you use the schedule parameter to define when you want the snapshots (legacy) to occur.

This list explains how to use the options for the schedule parameter:

immediate

As soon as you enter the command, a snapshot (legacy) virtual disk is created and a

 

copyon- write operation begins.

startDate

A specific date on which you want to create a snapshot (legacy) virtual disk and

 

perform a copy-on-write operation. The format for entering the date is MM:DD:YY.

 

If you do not provide a start date, the current date is used. An example of this

 

option is startDate=06:27:11.

scheduleDay

A day of the week on which you want to create a snapshot (legacy) virtual disk and

 

perform a copy-on-write operation. The values that you can enter are: monday,

 

tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, and all. For

 

example: scheduleDay=wednesday.

startTime

The time of a day you want to create a snapshot (legacy) virtual disk and start

 

performing a copy-on-write operation. The format for entering the time is HH:MM,

 

where HH is the hour and MM is the minute past the hour. Use a 24-hour clock. For

 

example: startTime=14:27, which corresponds to 2:27 PM.

scheduleInte

Amount of time, in minutes, that defines a minimum between two copy-on-write

rval

operations. It is possible for you to create a schedule in which you have

 

overlapping copy-on-write operations because of the duration of a copy
