Syntax

snap [{ -w | --wallet } wallet-location ] [{ -T | --trace } trace-level ]
     source1 target1 [ sourceN targetN ]...

Command Options

The options for the snap command are:

• source1-N: Specifies the snapshot source file(s).

• target1-N: Specifies the location of the snapshot(s).

• -w, --wallet: Optionally specifies the path to the Exascale wallet directory.

• -T, --trace: Optionally enables tracing and sets the trace level to 1 (minimum tracing), 2 (medium tracing), or 3 (maximum tracing).

  If the $ADR_BASE environment variable is set, the trace file is written to:

  $ADR_BASE/diag/EXC/xsh_<username>/<hostname>/trace/xsh_<date>.trc

  Otherwise, the trace file is written to:

  /tmp/diag/EXC/xsh_<username>/<hostname>/trace/xsh_<date>.trc

Usage Notes

Note the following information when using this command:

• You can use a wildcard (%) in the source to specify multiple source files, in which case the corresponding target must also contain a matching wildcard.

• All files in a snapshot operation must be in the same vault.

• Multiple source and target pairs are permitted. In this case, the source file specifications are considered in order, and only the first match is used.

• All snapshots created in the same operation are point-in-time consistent.
