You can manage snapshot volumes to copy, disable, or re-create a snapshot volume. You can also change a snapshot volume's settings, delete a snapshot volume, or convert a read-only snapshot volume to read-write.
Convert snapshot volume to read-write mode
You can convert a read-only snapshot volume or a snapshot consistency group snapshot volume to read-write mode if needed. A snapshot volume that is converted to read-write accessible contains its own reserved capacity. This capacity is used to save any subsequent modifications made by the host application to the base volume without affecting the referenced snapshot image.
Change the volume settings for a snapshot volume
You can change the settings for a snapshot volume or snapshot consistency group snapshot volume to rename it, enable or disable SSD caching, or change the host, host cluster, or logical unit number (LUN) assignment.
Copy snapshot volume
You can perform a Copy Volume process on a snapshot volume or a snapshot consistency group snapshot volume.
Re-create snapshot volume
You can re-create a snapshot volume or a snapshot consistency group snapshot volume that you previously disabled. Re-creating a snapshot volume takes less time than creating a new one.
Disable snapshot volume
You can disable a snapshot volume or a snapshot volume in a snapshot consistency group when you no longer need it or want to temporarily stop using it.
Delete snapshot volume
You can delete a snapshot volume or a snapshot consistency group snapshot volume that is no longer needed for backup or software application testing purposes. You can also specify whether you want to delete the snapshot reserved capacity volume associated with a read-write snapshot volume or retain the snapshot reserved capacity volume as an unassigned volume.
