Examples of displaying SnapVault Snapshot copies on volume

Primary storage output example:

See the sample snap list -q output display example. If you specify the primary volume name, the command lists the information for each Snapshot copy in the volume. This output is from a volume used as a SnapVault primary storage system:

systemA> snap list -q vol2
Volume vol2
working...

This output displays which qtrees were writable and therefore have original content (the timestamp in these cases is the same as for the Snapshot copy as a whole). It also displays whether any qtrees were transitioning and are therefore neither a faithful replica nor original content. Instead of a timestamp, transitioning qtrees are shown with a dash (-).

Secondary storage output example

If you specify the volume name (in this example, sv_vol) and are running the command from a system used as a SnapVault secondary storage system, you see a list of all the SnapVault Snapshot copies retained on volume sv_vol and the details of the qtrees contained in those Snapshot copies:

systemB> snap list -q sv_vol 
Volume sv_vol
working...

qtree      contents   date        source
--------   ---------  --------    -------
sv_hourly.0 (Jan 31 20:00)
   qtree1  Replica   Jan 22 20:40 systemA:/vol/vol2/qtree1
   qtree2  Replica   Jan 22 20:40 systemA:/vol/vol2/qtree2
   qtreeZ  Replica   Jan 22 20:40 systemA:/vol/vol2/qtreeZ
sv_hourly.1 (Jan 22 16:00)
   qtree1  Replica   Jan 22 16:00 systemA:/vol/vol2/qtree1
   qtree2  Replica   Jan 22 16:00 systemA:/vol/vol2/qtree2
   qtreeZ  Replica   Jan 22 16:00 systemA:/vol/vol2/qtreeZ
sv_hourly.2 (Jan 22 12:00)
   qtree1  Replica   Jan 22 12:00 systemA:/vol/vol2/qtree1
   qtree2  Replica   Jan 22 12:00 systemA:/vol/vol2/qtree2
   qtreeZ  Replica   Jan 22 12:00 systemA:/vol/vol2/qtreeZ
.....

This output displays which qtrees are replicas of another qtree, and the timestamp of the source Snapshot copy.

Note: Qtrees that are transitioning appear with a dash (-) instead of a timestamp. In general, you should not attempt to restore Snapshot copy versions of qtrees that are transitioning.

If you specify no arguments, the output displays the information for each Snapshot copy in each volume.
