The snap mount command

The snap mount command mounts a Snapshot copy of a LUN. Snapshots are always mounted in read/write mode.

Syntax for this command is:

sdcli snap mount [-m MachineName] [-r LiveMachineName] -k LiveMountPoint -s SnapshotName -d MountPoint

LiveMachineName refers to the name of the host connected to the LUN in the active file system. When left unspecified, -r defaults to the local host.

Note: When using this option to mount a Snapshot copy on a remote host, both the local and remote hosts must be running the same version of SnapDrive.

LiveMountPoint refers to the drive letter, mount point, volume name, or CSV reparse point assigned to the LUN in the active file system.

Example

sdcli snap mount -r host3 -k j -s Jun_14_09 -d t

The preceding example maps the Snapshot copy named Jun_14_09 to drive T: on the local host. This Snapshot copy represents a point-in-time image of the LUN mapped to J: on host3.
