Change a Snapshot's State
When snapshots are created, they are set offline. Setting a snapshot offline makes it unavailable to initiators, and closes any current connections.
NOTE: Snapshots that are not required to be online should be kept
offline until needed.
Change the state of a snapshot.
Use one of the following commands, depending on the current state of the
snapshot:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| snap --online snap_name--vol vol_name | Brings the snapshot online. |
| snap --offline snap_name--vol vol_name [--force] | Takes the snapshot offline. The [--force] option forcibly disables access to the snapshot. |
