Administering volume snapshots 343

Creating instant snapshots

Alternatively, you can use the vxsnap list command, which is an alias for the command:

#vxsnap [-g diskgroup] [-l] [-v] [-x] list [vol]

The following output is an example of using this command on the disk group dg1:

#vxsnap -g dg -vx list

This shows that the volume vol has three full-sized snapshots, svol1, svol2 and svol3, which are of types full-sized instant (fullinst), mirror break-off (mirbrk) and linked break-off (volbrk). It also has one snapshot plex (snapmir), vol-02, and one linked mirror volume (mirvol), mvol. The snapshot svol2 itself has a space-optimized instant snapshot (spaceopt), svol21. There is also a volume set, vset1, with component volumes v1 and v2. This volume set has a mirror break-off snapshot, svset1, with component volumes sv1 and sv2. The last two entries show a detached plex, vol-03, and a detached mirror volume, mvol2, which have vol as their parent volume. These snapshot objects may have become detached due to an I/O error, or, in the case of the plex, by running the vxplex det command.

The CHANGE_DATA column shows the approximate difference between the current contents of the snapshot and its parent volume. This corresponds to the amount of data that would have to be resynchronized to make the contents the same again.

The SYNCED_DATA column shows the approximate progress of synchronization since the snapshot was taken.

The -loption can be used to obtain a longer form of the output listing instead of the tabular form.

The -xoption expands the output to include the component volumes of volume sets.
