The command line utilities are available in the Storage Foundation 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 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 Storage Foundation client.
The vxsnap commands must be invoked on a local system.
For Windows Server operating systems, all CLI commands must be run in the "run as administrator" mode.
