Parameters

volumeId

Type: SystemString
The ID of the volume to snapshot. The value should be obtained from Volume.Id.

force (Optional)

Type: SystemBoolean
If , the snapshot is created even if the volume is currently attached.

displayName (Optional)

Type: SystemString
Name of the snapshot.

displayDescription (Optional)

Type: SystemString
Description of snapshot.

region (Optional)

Type: SystemString
The region in which to execute this action. If not specified, the user's default region will be used.

identity (Optional)

Type: net.openstack.Core.DomainCloudIdentity
The cloud identity to use for this request. If not specified, the default identity for the current provider instance will be used.

Return Value

Creating a snapshot makes a point-in-time copy of the volume. All writes to the volume should be flushed before creating the snapshot, either by un-mounting any file systems on the volume, or by detaching the volume before creating the snapshot. Snapshots are incremental, so each time you create a new snapshot, you are appending the incremental changes for the new snapshot to the previous one. The previous snapshot is still available. Note that you can create a new volume from the snapshot if desired.
