Use the Create a Snapshot task to
specify details of a snapshot to be captured.
Fields
Note: This task is disabled if the cluster is
in a state other than OK, Offline, or Unsynchronized.
The Create
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 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 troubleshooting.
- 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 defined custom methods
- 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 and the output is stored in the snapshot.
