Manage snapshot images

You can manage snapshot images to start, pause, or resume snapshot image rollback on a base volume or snapshot consistency group. You can also view snapshot image settings or delete snapshot images.

  • View snapshot image settings
    You can view the properties, status, reserved capacity, and associated objects assigned to each snapshot image.
  • Start snapshot image rollback for a base volume
    You can perform a rollback operation to change the content of a base volume to match the content that is saved in a snapshot image. The rollback operation does not change the content of the snapshot images that are associated with the base volume.
  • Start snapshot image rollback for snapshot consistency group member volumes
    You can perform a rollback operation to change the content of snapshot consistency group member volumes to match the content that is saved in a snapshot image. The rollback operation does not change the content of the snapshot images that are associated with the snapshot consistency group.
  • Resume snapshot image rollback
    If an error occurs during a snapshot image rollback operation, the operation is automatically paused. You can resume a rollback operation that is in a paused state.
  • Cancel snapshot image rollback
    You can cancel an active rollback that is in progress (actively copying data), a pending rollback (in a pending queue awaiting resources to start), or a rollback that has been paused due to an error.
  • Delete snapshot image
    You delete snapshot images to clean up the oldest snapshot image from a snapshot group or snapshot consistency group.
