Managing snapshots

Snapshots are the read only point-in-time copies of a volume group that cannot be directly accessible from the hosts. To access the snapshot contents, you can create a clone or thin clone of a volume group snapshot.

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to manage snapshots, safeguarded snapshots, and the volume groups. To work with snapshots, safeguarded snapshots, and the volume group in the management GUI, select Volumes > Volumes Group > Existing volume group > Snapshots.
