Dell 34XX, 38XX, 32XX, 36XX manual 316

Parameters

Parameter	Description
immediate	Begins a snapshot operation immediately; a
	snapshot virtual disk is created and a copy-on-
	write operation begins.
startDate	Defines a specific start date snapshot virtual disk
	creation. The format for this option is MM:DD:YY. If
	no start date is provided, the current date is used.
	For example: startDate=06:27:11.
scheduleDay	Defines a day of the week you want to create a
	snapshot 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	Defines time of a day you want to create a
	snapshot 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.
scheduleInterval	Amount of time, in minutes that defines a
	minimum between two copy-on-write 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 operation. You
	can ensure that copy-on-write operations
	maintain a correct interval by using this option. The
	maximum value for the scheduleInterval
	option is 1440 minutes. For example:
	scheduleInterval=180.
endDate	Specific date to stop creating a snapshot virtual
	disk and end the copy-on-write operations. The
	format is MM:DD:YY, where MM is the month, DD
	the day and YY the year. For example:
	endDate=11:26:11.
noEndDate	Use this option to prevent a scheduled copy-on-
	write operation from ending. If you later decide to
	end the copy-on-write operations, you must re-
	enter the create snapshotVirtualDisk
	command and specify an end date.
timesPerDay	Number of times you want the snapshot schedule
	to run in a day. For example, timesPerDay=4.
