A. Validate Snapshot Summary

The basic usage for listing all of the Snapshot volumes can be gotten by:

sscs

sscs list [-S <storage_domain >] volume

Note that this will list all volumes in the domain, the snapshots have the type 'Snapshot'.

./sscs list volume
Volume:  vol4  Storage Domain:  DEFAULT  Type:  Single
Volume:  vol4-snap  Storage Domain:  DEFAULT  Type:  Snapshot

The first line is a regular volume, the second is a snapshot of a volume.

Note that only volumes that are part of the storage domain specified will be listed. If no domain option is specified, the domain DEFAULT is assumed.

BUI

1. Click Common Array Manager or Configuration Service link.
2. Click Logical Storage.
3. Click Snapshot.

This will display:

• Name
• Parent Volume
• Storage Domain
• Created
• State
• Condition
• WWN

For a more detailed view of a volume of type Snapshot continue to Step B.. For other volume types, return to Step 2 of <Document: 1009915.1> : Troubleshooting Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920 Configuration Problems.

If a volume cannot be seen, or has a condition other than OK go to Step C.

B. Validating Snapshot Details.

This step details collection for Volumes that are of the type, Snapshot.
