Performing Instant Snapshots

Before you can use the snapshot-enabled utilities to create an Instant Snapshot, you must set up the hardware environment and XBM.

Subsequent sections describe how to complete these tasks in more detail.

Note

In addition to performing these required tasks for Instant Snapshots, BMC recommends that you configure XBM for hardware and software snapshots. Doing so allows the snapshot utility to request a traditional snapshot if conditions are not met for an Instant Snapshot. For information about configuring XBM for software and hardware snapshots, see Enabling-software-snapshots and Performing-hardware-snapshots.
