3.9.3.2 List Volume Snapshots

A volume snapshot is a logical read-only point-in-time copy of a volume.

To display information about existing volume snapshots, use the ESCLI lsvolumesnapshot command. For example:

@> lsvolumesnapshot

By default, without any optional arguments, the command displays basic information about all of the volume snapshots associated with the Exascale cluster.

Using the command options available with the lsvolumesnapshot command, you can:

  • Specify the volume snapshots that you want to display.
  • Filter the output according to your specified conditions.
  • Sort the output using specific attributes.
  • Choose to display output with different levels of detail.
