Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

volume.uuid

string

path

True

Volume UUID

uuid

string

path

True

Snapshot copy UUID

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

  • Default value: 1

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

comment

string

A comment associated with the Snapshot copy. This is an optional attribute for POST or PATCH.

create_time

string

Creation time of the Snapshot copy. It is the volume access time when the Snapshot copy was created.

expiry_time

string

The expiry time for the Snapshot copy. This is an optional attribute for POST or PATCH. Snapshot copies with an expiry time set are not allowed to be deleted until the retention time is reached.

name

string

Snapshot copy. Valid in POST or PATCH.

owners

array[string]

reclaimable_space

integer

Space reclaimed when the Snapshot copy is deleted, in bytes.

size

integer

Size of the active file system at the time the Snapshot copy is captured. The actual size of the Snapshot copy also includes those blocks trapped by other Snapshot copies. On a Snapshot copy deletion, the "size" amount of blocks is the maximum number of blocks available. On a Snapshot copy restore, the "afs-used size" value will match the Snapshot copy "size" value.

snaplock_expiry_time

string

SnapLock expiry time for the Snapshot copy, if the Snapshot copy is taken on a SnapLock volume. A Snapshot copy is not allowed to be deleted or renamed until the SnapLock ComplianceClock time goes beyond this retention time.

snapmirror_label

string

Label for SnapMirror operations

state

string

State of the Snapshot copy. There are cases where some Snapshot copies are not complete. In the "partial" state, the Snapshot copy is consistent but exists only on the subset of the constituents that existed prior to the FlexGroup's expansion. Partial Snapshot copies cannot be used for a Snapshot copy restore operation. A Snapshot copy is in an "invalid" state when it is present in some FlexGroup constituents but not in others. At all other times, a Snapshot copy is valid.

svm

svm

uuid

string

The UUID of the Snapshot copy in the volume that uniquely identifies the Snapshot copy in that volume.
