The command line utilities are available in the Symantec Storage Foundation for Windows installation directory.
The vxsnap utility integrates with Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to create split-mirror snapshots of all the volumes in the specified component.
Note the following requirements:
Disk groups must be of a Storage Foundation for Windows 4.0 or later version. You must upgrade any disk groups created using an earlier version of Volume Manager for Windows before using the vxsnap utility
The CLI commands run only on the server. They will not run on the Symantec Storage Foundation for Windows client.
The vxsnap commands must be invoked on a local system.
For Windows Server 2008, all CLI commands must run in the command window in the "run as administrator" mode.
