Setting the Snapshot copy reserve

You can use System Manager to reserve space (measured as a percentage) for the Snapshot copies in a volume. By setting the Snapshot copy reserve, you can allocate enough disk space for the Snapshot copies so that they do not consume the active file system space.

1. Click Storage > Volumes.
2. From the drop-down menu in the SVM field, select All SVMs.
3. Select the volume for which you want to set the Snapshot copy reserve.
4. Click More Actions > Manage Snapshots > Configuration Settings.
5. Type or select the percentage of volume space that you want to reserve for the Snapshot copies, and then click OK.
