Create a consistency group Snapshot copy

PDFs

POST /application/consistency-groups/{consistency_group.uuid}/snapshots

Introduced In: 9.10

Creates a Snapshot copy of an existing consistency group.

Required properties

  • consistency_group.uuid - Existing consistency group UUID in which to create the Snapshot copy.

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

consistency_group.uuid

string

path

True

The unique identifier of the consistency group to retrieve.

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: 0

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0

return_records

boolean

query

False

The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.
