EMC Unity - Snapshot Schedule Operations

This chapter contains the following sections:

EMC Unity - Pause Snapshot Creation

Summary
Pause snapshot creation.
Description
This task pauses snapshot creation of a file system, a LUN, or a Consistency Group on an EMC Unity storage array. There will not be any Snapshots created by system until it is moved from Paused state. Input Format:
  • Storage Resource: Storage Resource can be either Consistency Group, LUN or File System
  • Consistency Group: podName@AccountName@consistencyGroupName@ConsistencyGroupID. For example: Vblock@Unity_Hybrid@TestCG@res_26
  • EMC Unity File System: podName@accountName@spName@id@nasServerName@nasServerID@storagePoolName@storagePoolId@fileSystemName@fileSystemID. For example: Default Pod@EmcUnity@SP A@spa@TestNAS@nas_4@pool_7@Pool0@TestFS@fs_14
  • LUN: PodName@accountName@storagePoolName@storagePoolId@lunName@lunID. For example: Vblock@Unity_Hybrid@Pool1@pool_7@TestLUN@lun_7
