This command modifies a snapshot.

Usage
snapshot modify --id ID
               [--name NAME]
               [--expiration-time EXPIRATION_TIME]
               [--lock]
               [--unlock]
Required Parameters

--id ID

Specifies which snapshot to modify.
Options

--name NAME

Changes the name of the snapshot.

--expiration-time EXPIRATION_TIME

Sets or modifies a time in the future at which the snapshot should expire.

Specify EXPIRATION_TIME in the format YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS.

Example: --expiration-time 2019-09-25T22:30:00

--lock

Locks the snapshot. Locking protects the snapshot from deletion.

A locked snapshot is not deleted by any of the following:

  • Exceeding its expiration time

  • Due to its snapshot policy's retention limit

  • User attempted deletion without first unlocking it

Locked snapshots count towards the retention limit of their snapshot policy. If the number of locked snapshots that were created by a given snapshot policy is equal to the retention limit, the snapshot policy stops taking new snapshots.

--unlock

Unlocks the snapshot.
Example
vcli: admin>  modify --id 
vcli: admin> snapshot modify --id 1 --lock
Are you sure you want to lock this snapshot? (locked snapshot cannot be deleted or modified until unlock) [y/N] y
vcli: admin> snapshot modify --id 1 --unlock
Are you sure you want to unlock this snapshot? (this action can cause lost of data) [y/N] y
