Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

volume.uuid

string

path

True

Volume UUID

uuid

string

array[string]

query

False

Response

Status: 200, Ok
Name Type Description

_links

_links

comment

string

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

compress_savings

integer

Savings due to compression at the time the snapshot was taken in bytes.

create_time

string

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

dedup_savings

integer

Savings due to dedup at the time the snapshot was taken in bytes.

delta

snapshot_delta

Reports the amount of space consumed between two WAFL file systems, in bytes. The two WAFL file systems should be specified in a comma-separated format using the "name" parameter. To determine the space consumed between a snapshot and the Active File System, only the snapshot name needs to be mentioned.

expiry_time

string

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

logical_size

integer

Size of the logical used file system at the time the snapshot is captured.

name

string

Snapshot. Valid in POST or PATCH.

owners

array[string]

provenance_volume

provenance_volume

reclaimable_space

integer

Space reclaimed when the snapshot is deleted, in bytes.

size

integer

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

snaplock

snaplock

snaplock_expiry_time

string

SnapLock expiry time for the snapshot, if the snapshot is taken on a SnapLock volume. A snapshot is not allowed to be deleted or renamed until the SnapLock ComplianceClock time goes beyond this retention time. This option can be set during snapshot POST and snapshot PATCH on snapshot locking enabled volumes. This field will no longer be supported in a future release. Use snaplock.expiry_time instead.

snapmirror_label

string

Label for SnapMirror operations

state

string

State of the FlexGroup volume snapshot. In the "pre_conversion" state, the snapshot was created before converting the FlexVol to a FlexGroup volume. A recently created snapshot can be in the "unknown" state while the system is calculating the state. In the "partial" state, the snapshot is consistent but exists only on the subset of the constituents that existed prior to the FlexGroup's expansion. Partial snapshots cannot be used for a snapshot restore operation. A snapshot is in an "invalid" state when it is present in some FlexGroup constituents but not in others. At all other times, a snapshot is valid.

svm

svm

SVM, applies only to SVM-scoped objects.

uuid

string

The UUID of the snapshot in the volume that uniquely identifies the snapshot in that volume.

vbn0_savings

integer

Savings due vbn0 at the time the snapshot was taken in bytes.

version_uuid

string

The 128 bit identifier that uniquely identifies a snapshot and its logical data layout.

volume

volume

snapshot_delta

Reports the amount of space consumed between two WAFL file systems, in bytes. The two WAFL file systems should be specified in a comma-separated format using the "name" parameter. To determine the space consumed between a snapshot and the Active File System, only the snapshot name needs to be mentioned.

size_consumed

integer

Indicates the space that has changed between two specified WAFL file systems, in bytes.

It can also be used to extend the expiry time of a locked snapshot on a SnapLock for SnapVault destination consistency-group.
