size
size
[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]
Sets the snap-pool size using the current base, as shown by the
show cli-parameters
command. The
unit can be specified as follows:
•
If base 2 is in use:
B
(bytes),
KiB
(kibibytes),
MiB
(mebibytes), or
GiB
(gibibytes).
•
If base 10 is in use:
B
(bytes),
KB
(kilobytes),
MB
(megabytes), or
GB
(gigabytes).
If no unit is specified, the unit is 512-byte blocks. The supported minimum size is 5 GiB or 5.37 GB.
NOTE:
In rare cases, a large amount of I/O can cause a snap pool that is too small to fill quickly.
This can result in all snapshots being deleted due to the snap pool running out of space. If you
expect the snap pool to have a high rate of data change, use the
show snap-pools
command to view
the snap pool’s size. If it is less than 50 GB, use the
expand snap-pool
command to expand its size
to at least 50 GB.
name
A name for the new snap pool. The name is case sensitive; cannot include a comma, double quote,
left angle bracket, or backslash; and can have a maximum of 20 bytes. A name that includes a
space must be enclosed in double quotes.
Example
Create the 50 GB snap pool
SP1
on vdisk
VD1
:
# create snap-pool vdisk VD1 size 50GB SP1
Info: The volume was created. (SP1)
Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-18 12:29:59)
