Viewing Snapshots Information

Snapshot content is only readable by Pegasus. Therefore, this feature not only allows you to query the overview of the active snapshot, but also generates a comprehensive snapshot storage location overview.

This inquiry utility contains three drop-down items on the Pegasus Interactive Run Option icon:

To view the header of the current active snapshot, info can be printed out in CIW after clicking INFO: Print Current Snapshot Header.

For each component listed in snapshot header, the detail of usage is documented in the following table:
