Taking a full-sized snapshot of an application volume

Having prepared an empty volume, you can take a snapshot of the application volume as shown in the following command:

# vxsnap -g mydg make source=stmrvol/snapvol=mysnpvol/syncing=on

The following command starts a full synchronization of the snapshot volume, and blocks until this is complete:

# vxsnap -g mydg syncwait mysnpvol
