Creating synchronization point snapshots

When CDP is enabled for a volume, synchronization point snapshots can be created. In this case, a consistent snapshot will be created simultaneously in both the local and remote clusters, respectively.

Creating a single synchronization point snapshot

Meta

Procedure

Run the following command on any node in the cluster:

zbs-meta snapshot create <pool_name> <volume_name> <snapshot_name> --as_cdp_sync_point [options]

Output example

zbs-meta snapshot create pool1 vol1 snap1 --as_cdp_sync_point

Output note

After successful execution, the information about the newly created snapshot will be returned.

iSCSI

Procedure

Run the following command on any node in the cluster:

zbs-iscsi snapshot create <target_name> <lun_id> <snapshot_name> --as_cdp_sync_point [options]

Output example

zbs-iscsi snapshot create target1 1 snap1 --as_cdp_sync_point

Output note

After successful execution, the information about the newly created snapshot will be returned.

Batch creating synchronization point snapshots (Meta)

Procedure

Run the following command on any node in the cluster:

zbs-meta snapshot batch_create --volumes <VOLUMES> --as_cdp_sync_point

Output example

zbs-meta snapshot batch_create --volumes pool1/vol1:snap1,pool1/vol2:snap2 --as_cdp_sync_point

Output note

After successful execution, the information about all the newly created snapshots will be listed.
