Bringing snapshots online or taking snapshots offline
If you want to mount a snapshot through NFS or export a CIFS snapshot, you must bring the snapshot online. You can then create a CIFS or an NFS share using the snapshot name as the path. For example: /vx/fs1/:snap1. The snapshot can only be mounted through NFS or exported through CIFS if it is online.
To bring a snapshot online
- To bring a snapshot online:
Storage> snapshot online snapshot_name fs_name
snapshot_name
Specifies the name of the snapshot.
fs_name
Specifies the name of the file system from which the snapshot was taken. Snapshots with the same name could exist for more than one file system. In this case, you must specify the file system name.
To take a snapshot offline
- To take a snapshot offline:
Storage> snapshot offline snapshot_name fs_name
snapshot_name
Specifies the name of the snapshot.
fs_name
Specifies the name of the file system from which the snapshot was taken. Snapshots with the same name could exist for more than one file system. In this case, you must specify the file system name.
