Create a consistency group Snapshot copy

Contributors

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.

action

string

query

False

Initiates the Snapshot copy create operation. The start of the Snapshot copy operation can optionally use a timeout value specified by "action_timeout". The Snapshot copy is commited by calling PATCH on the Snapshot copy href link with action specified as "commit".

  • Introduced in: 9.11

  • enum: ["start"]

action_timeout

integer

query

False

Duration to complete the 2-phase Snapshot copy operation. This also specifies the maximum duration that the write-fence remains in effect on the volumes associated with this consistency group. Default is 7 seconds with a valid range of 1 to 90 seconds.

  • Introduced in: 9.11

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

return_records

boolean

query

False

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

  • Default value:
