How to Create a snapshot volume

Answer Posted / sbrahman75

Command Syntax

vxassist snapshot volume_name new_volume_name

To create a snapshot volume of vol8, type:

#vxassist snapshot vol8 snapvol8

You can now back up the snapshot volume by whatever means
you prefer. To avoid wasting space, you can then remove the
snapshot volume, which occupies as much space as the
original volume
