Controlling which types of snapshots are enabled
This section describes techniques that you use to control which types of snapshots are enabled:
- To enable software snapshots, you must define a configuration that specifies the types of cache allowed (as described in Enabling-software-snapshots) and a snapshot template (Specifying-a-snapshot-template).
- To enable hardware snapshots, you must specify a snapshot template (Specifying-a-snapshot-template) and set SSI options to allow hardware snapshots (Specifying-snapshot-types-through-options).
- To enable Instant Snapshots, you set SSI options to allow Instant Snapshots (Specifying-snapshot-types-through-options).
This section also describes enabling software snapshots to act as a fallback to hardware snapshots (Enabling-fallback-to-software-snapshots) and describes briefly how the utilities call different snapshots (Requesting-the-snapshot-in-the-utilities).
