Use the Capture a Snapshot task
to specify details of a snapshot to be captured.
Fields
The Capture a Snapshot task
contains the following fields:
- Name
- Specify a name for the snapshot.
- Description
- Specify a description for the snapshot.
- Save log files in the snapshot
- Cluster log files record the operation of a cluster. Use this
field to specify whether to save log files in the snapshot.
- Yes
- Selecting the Yes option saves cluster log files
in the cluster snapshot that you capture. Saving log files in the
snapshot provides information that can be helpful during trouble shooting.
- No
- By default, this field is set to No. When you
create a cluster snapshot with PowerHA™ SystemMirror software, log
files are not saved in the snapshot. By not saving the log files,
the size of the snapshot is reduced and the speed of the snapshot
utility is increased.
- Choose custom defined methods for capturing the snapshot
- Select one or more custom snapshot methods to run when a snapshot
is captured. The custom snapshot methods run in alphabetical order
on each node of the cluster.
